SNOW CRYSTAL (J. Wills 1947) M. Snow Crystal is well 
named for its whiteness reminds one of glistening snow on a 
sunny wintry morning. It is the most lovely flower that I 
have ever seen on a white and blue plicata. Large in size 
with perfectly domed standards, and widely flaring falls, 
its great distinction hes in the striking contrast of the 
intense blue styles and crests with the pure whiteness of 
the standards and falls. The light feathering of blue at 
the hafts is void of any brown veining, so often found in a 
plicata. ‘The branching is a little high, but I am sure it is 
an iris that will please you. Heavy textured flowers, and
