Like its namesake the beautiful sailing ships; this iris is tall, elegant and sturdy enough to stand all type of weather, fair or foul. Heavily ruffled, domed standards of soft chamois brown. Extra wide, ruffled falls of pale lilac with a blended border of chamois brown. Heavy orange beard. One of the most admired seedling at our 1957 Portland Iris Society Show. 38 inches.
