INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1970 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: No one color therm properly or adequately describes this iris as it is a subtle blending of rich and intense deep chocolate and red brown with a hint of sultry, still deeper, chocolate. Then a warmth permeates the entire flower is uniformly colored--even to the beard! The blooms are crisp with a well defined flare while the color is sunfast and petal substance heavy.
