INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1986 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: A poet's inspiration. Casting an entrancing spell, Sweet Musette invites you to come and look a little bit closer. Note this broad flamingo and rosy bitone with a tangerine beard. The standards are light pink-lavender shade and contrast the rich mellifluous rouge colored falls. The edges of the petals are serraed with delicate lace needlepoint. For smoothnss, warmth and serenity this lyrical ballad can't be beat.
