Queen’s Circle exudes a quiet charm and irresistible appeal that has been quickly recognized. Our photo shows the band of warm blue-violet at the edges of the wide ruffled white falls. Subdued orange beards add subtle warmth. This iris is one that makes a passer-by stop and take notice.  (Kerr, 2000) Honorable Mention 2002, Award of Merit 2004, Wister Medal 2006, Dykes Medal 2007.
