INTERESTING INFO:
From the 2007 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: The striking feature about County Cork is its jealously green overall cast. Although "green" Iris are in reality a greenish shade of yellow, this lassie is tops in her class. Our picture shows the uniform lime-yellow tone of the closed upright standards. Also note that the falls lighten to white by the straw yellow beards.
