INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1963 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: The blond beauty on our front cover, Pompano Peach, has a peachy apricot color and a luscious, luminescent quality that attracted garden visitor like a magnet. Our transparency of Pompano Peach reveals an intensity of frilling which greatly enhances its opulent beauty of form. Its sheen is so pronounced it appears positively lacquered. An iris of exceptional finish that seems to us the best in its color class, it is a striking effective garden iris that promises to have a great future. You'll regret if you pass up this beauty.
