INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1976 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Appropriately named, our illustration assists us well conceiving in our mind's eye the scintilating, animated coloring of this festive Iris. A jovial pageant of color, starch like substanced flower, fully rounded and broad. A rich shade of deep burnt sugar brown, embellished by a crispness of texture that characterizes this gay, buoyantly rich shaded blend. The ruffling in both standards and falls accentuate this happy mood. An ideal stem and branching habit, stemming from parental stocks which include: WILD GINGER, TASTE OF HONEY, and DUTCH CHOCOLATE inheriting the splendid qualities of colorfast pigmentation. After all, what child is not more illustrious than its parent?
