Derived from Iris kaempferi. The drawing for this print was made at home in San Francisco from specimens given me by my friend Jack Halpern, who each year creates wonders in his little San Francisco garden. He has provided me with many beautiful plants to draw. I. kaempferi, which is native to eastern Siberia and Japan, has been hybridized to produce hundreds of different cultivars now grown by iris lovers. The drooping falls are characteristic. It is a luxurious and sensuous plant, adding yet another aspect to the incredible variety of iris forms. —Henry Evans
