INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1999 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Looking for a sure fire way to extend the Iris bloom season? This is it! Last Chance begins its show long after the other tall bearded Iris have faded. This subtle pastel bitone combines buff-peach standards with pale blue-lavender falls and tangerine beards. See how the nicely ruffled flower form is classically arched and picture perfect. What more fitting way to wrap up Iris bloom time than with this 6 to 8 budded wonder? An added plus is its sweet fragrance aroma.
