INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1968 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Here is a new pink amoena, an additionto that color group that yields advancement so grudgingly. A dramatic beauty of swirling iridescent creamy pink falls contrasting with taffeta-crisp standards of unblemished white. Closed up, a slight texture venation pattern reveals itself in the falls, but at a distance of 15 feet it appears a smooth, uniform, clear pink. Derived from five generations of selective breeding, it has fertile pollen and a seed setter.
