INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1962 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: The big feature about this iris is the fact that it is one of the extremely few dark red iris (as distinguished from merely red) which do not fade or bleach in the sun. Indeed, it is exceptionally weather and sun resistant in every respect. In tone, a rich ox-blood to garnet-ruby red with large, full flowers on tall, very well branched stems. Its garnet-ruby tones have the richness of old mahogany. A larger flower than most red iris, nicely branched and a vigorous grower. Much darker than Fire Magic with which it does not compete.
