INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1990 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Treat your garden to mellifluous Polynesian tones late in the bloom season with this delectable shrimp pink self. Sense Coral Sunset's heart-warming impact in our illustration. These moderately sized flowers are finished in luscious pink-apricot tones lightening to creamy white. Bright tangerine beards compelte the ensemble. It's a robust grower, producing 6-7 buds on three branches.
