INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1967 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Here is a perfect self even to the beard, the dominant colors being a very rich metallic blend of copper and brass. A superb iris in every way with splendid form and a changeable silk iridescence. A most striking iris that rates high in the garden picture.
Tijuana Brass was a famous music group with leader Herb Alpert on the trumpet. Their popularity began in the mid-1960s through the late 1970s.
