INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1972 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: This silken rose creation with a beautiful waxy texture is derived from an astonishing line of flamingo pink and rose colored seedlings. Its charmingly blends with the faint halation of translucent rose-pink edges with the more studied intensified tones of its richer haft. The pleasant coloration makes it one of the most satisfying iris of this hue that we have seen. Handsome large florets, heavily substance and finely branched stems, 7 to 9 buds, three branches.
