shade of dulcet medium blue, with brushings of cream radiating through the 
flower. Flowers are very large, with full broad standards and copiously formed 
falls. Substance excellent and branching very good. 36”. $5.00 
Amigo (Williams 1934) This iris is very suggestive of a velvety blue-purple pansy 
having very heavy texture and fine form. S. clear light lavender violet. F.
