<< To complete the iris information Mark A. Cook supplied, I find ELEGANCE in
the 1939 iris check list book. It is listed ELEGANCE - Barr 1919, white
predominant blue toned W2 feathered. This would make ELEGANCE a historical
iris and I am not familiar with it. I also am not good at interpeting the
1939 iris check list discriptions.>>
And then there is also this scrap from HIPS Chronicle VII:Barr. It's a dwarf
with white standards, and falls white shaded canary and lilac, probably rather
pale.
The last update of the HIPS DataBank listing does not show anyone who reports
growing what they believe to be this cultivar, so if it blooms anything like
the above description, take good care of it. It may be quite rare.
