INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1975 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Boldly held on stout 40" broomstalk rigid stems, this smoldering, big broad petaled new red Iris features an improvement in height of stem, spaced branching and a rich uniform red self. Absolutely no haft veining, a dull old-gold beard. Opening three flowers at once on well spaced branches, a stem with a compliment of 7 to 8 buds. An ace in the red class, it flaunts majestic spikes of bloom that challenge the eye.
