INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1980 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: How can this pleasant color combination miss with its outstanding form and substance? Here is an extremely handsome bicolor -- rich orchid-pink standards and regally precise rose falls. Lightly laced, broad and full in all parts this large seven inch flower has a tangerine red beard. A truly gorgeous color combination! Regretfully it produced only two or three branches, double socketed having 5 buds. If this Iris were more ideallybranched, we would have introduced it at a top notch price. The fresh coloring though is sure to be a splash hit in any garden.
