INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1972 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: One of those rare iris which color and texture achieve near symmetrical perfect balance. Its waxen broad flowers are wonderfully ruffled, an effervescent shade ranging from peach to copper-pink, coupled with a frosty luminous glow. A gleaming flash of whiteness on the midriff of the falls is circumscribed by a mirroring of the same peach pink that is found in the standards. PEACH FROST'S regal elegance, perfect symmetry and cool serenity attain attention anywhere. A classic iris with well budded, ideally branched, husky stems.
