Blue Rhythm is a classic historic blue iris, with clean, even coloring and a fragrance that adds to its appeal. Midseason bloom. The standards and falls are a medium blue self, creating a beautifully unified flower, with the falls carrying a slightly deeper blue-violet impression. Pale beards blend quietly into the center rather than creating a strong contrast. Notably, Blue Rhythm has a lemon fragrance. (Mrs. C. Whiting, 1945). Honorable Mention, 1945; Award of Merit, 1947; President’s Cup, 1950; Dykes Medal, 1950.
