The hybridizer, whose writing is on par with his crossing, wrote this about his creation: “Need a non-confrontational peacemaker for the more strident colors? A bit of friendly advice: try this one!” a pink that isn’t quite a pink but a subtle pastel blend.” Its tight standards morph from lilac-white at the bottom to pinkish-white at the top. The flared falls are lightly veined, grayed lilac pink. Producing 8-9 buds per stalk proves this iris to be a strong grower.
