INTERSTING INFO: From the 2013 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: Allow the soft tones of this celestial charmer to influence you. Few of us can resist this color, a pleasing melding of cream and pale yellow, with a hint of green. The predominantly down-curving falls are mostly white, with slight pleating and laciness. The strong standrds are semi-open, giving a solid look to the overall flower. 37" stalks and flowers are big.
