INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1987 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: Play with Fire advances the development of red Iris by combining outstanding height, exquisite ruffling and sparkling color. The most heavily ruffled red currently on the market, this alluring ruby literally shines from within. The tall stems sport 9 to 10 buds (some triple socketed) and have an exceptional three to four branches.
