INTERESTING INFO:
From the 2006 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Rhinelander's mauve grape color (beards and all) is like that of a fully ripened crop of grapes ready for harvest in the Mosel Valley. This rich coloration comes from the blending of its superb parents, New Renaissance and Good Looking. Its flower is smoothly aged to perfect "bouquet" and is one of the last Tall Beardeds to bloom. We rate its bouncy ruffled form a 10+. Prosit!
