INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1983 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Remember the full autumn moons of yesterday...rising like a guardian over the horizon. We can hardly say enough about this large luminously glowing lemon-yellow self. What breadth of petals (7 X 7 inch florets with heavy substance and ruffling)....and note the extra wide hafts that are rounder and rounder still. In addition you will relish the superbly spaced stem sporting 8 well placed buds. A gorgeous immaculate maiden of the evening. Polished!
