INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1984 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: A calypso beat...with syncopated Reggae rhythm. Latin Rock captures that distinctive Caribbean style. Its perfectly formed and creative modulation of pattern makes this the ideal bicolor. Especially notable is the remarkable color and smoothness of the broad petals. An unexpected harmony is presented as the light peach-pink standards contrast the silky glistening rich red-plum to claret-purple falls. Highlight all this with glowing tangerine red beards. The flower is amply formed with broad petals and 8 buds. A fine innovation in the warmer shaded bicolors. A most exquisite Iris!
