On Russell Iris Catalog 2007

Great Lakes

TB 35" M It is a pure blue practically devoid of veining. Fine stems of good height well branched. One of the grandest iris imaginable and so superior to a multitude of other blues it sets the standard in its class. There are several fine light blues each with some degree of tenderness but GREAT LAKES, a Canadian origination, is rugged and hardy. We give it our unqualified recommendation."
