Once you stop and take a good look at Rippling Waters, you are in! This blue-orchid and pink blended self has a red-tangerine beard, and seems perfectly formed.  It has both ruffles and lace, but not too much – this historic iris won the Dykes Medal in 1966, and is still a favorite! (O. Fay, 1961) High Commendation 1960; Honorable Mention 1962; Award of Merit 1964; Dykes Medal 1966
