Among irises that grow tall, produce quality stalks and branching, have large 
wide petaled falls, and large blooms, JAGUAR BLUE is a standout here. It 
bloomed 40" tall, a very pale blue (near white), with blue beards. I smeared a lot 
of this pollen. I cared not which color it got smeared on but did manage to 
look for others with blue beards and/or similar closed standards.

I do not have an R&I discription. It is a 2001 registration.

Smiles,
