INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1973 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: A handsome, fascinating combination of varying shades of uniform ginger-brown red cast with a copper underlay with full solidly colored bloom. A deeper intensification of old copper shades in the haft. The beard is the identical color of the petals. A magnetic blending of unusual shadings and compelling color of rich toned harmony. One of the first of the brown blends to be enhanced with ruffling.
