INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1979 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: For ROSY VEIL fans, that fine and long lasting pink-orchid plicata, we offer this outstanding improvement, which is superior in every way. The large blooms, almost square in shape, are formally placed on thick nicely branched stems. Each petal is precisely stitched orchid-pink on the cool pure ice-white background. A rugged grower, it is early flower. In fact, one of the earliest of all tall bearded to burst into full glory.
