INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1981 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: As if from the land of the "rising sun" here we have a soul-stirring dark cherry red. Samurai Warrior is a complete self with a distinguishing silken sheen. The beard continues the same red coloring but seems dusted at the top by a patina of silvery blue. Again, a different shade of red which is difficult to capture on film. 7 to 8 buds - very long lasting flower.
Despite the official description, the beards of Samurai Warrior have a blue hue to them.
