INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1989 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Truly different! There is nothing in the dwarf class like this stirking bicolor. One glance will tell the story. Two counter foiling colros present the ulimate contrast...near white standards and wine violet falls. Then the surprise. Each fall is precisely edged with a wire rim echoing the soft tones of the standards. A real tightrope walker!
