INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1971 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Blended tones of gild gold, bronzy tan, peach pink and apricot balance in a symphony of subtle hues with a most striking counterpoint…a blue signal patch below the intense orange beard. A veritable neon bright rainbow. Ramrod stiff stems carry 4 well-spaced branches with compliment of 11 buds. Blooms flare with a jaunty grace and dancing ripple. An attractive, vibrant, colorful blend. HC'70
