INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1999 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Arctic Age comes on the scene comparatively late in the bloom season. This phenomenon literally dominates the garden as one of the best frosted, snowy-white selfs we have. Savor its immaculate purity of color and ruffled flower form. Note how the engaging lemon-yellow beards light up these cool tones like beacons in the arctic tundra. What we cannot illustrate is the absolutely superb substance of the petals�thick yet with the delicacy of the finest Chinese porcelain. Don't be frozen out; order yours today.
