SHIPSHAPE [all one word] (S. Babson, R. '68) ...TB, 38", M...Medium blue self. Pacific Panorama X Epic...Melrose '69.

Check List 1969, next to last entry, p. 191.

This occurs in a large number of pedigrees, by the way, and is one of the sources of wide, wide hafts in modern blues and whites. The photo is of a darker blue than I would expect from Babson's variety. That is not to say the plant is mislabeled. I never grew it myself. Whether or not it is correctly identified, it is a lovely iris.

SHIPSHAPE is a significant historic.
