INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1985 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: A red letter Iris that does indeed stop the music. Sure to generate a renewed interest in the red plicata color class. Bright red plicata markings are a full 3/4 inch wide creating a striking contrast against the pure white centers of the falls. This same snappy red tone is all pervading on teh fully rounded standards. Nice stems, double socketed; 7 to 8 buds.
