INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1979 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: This charmer was selected from our lavender and orchid series for its engaging shade of delicate coral to orchid pink. Its color, though, is warmer when compared to the other orchid creations. CORAL MAGIC tends to elicit a bit of the subtle glow of coral, blue and orchid. Another attempt to describe it would be to say lavender-raspberry. Although its tints may suggest fragileness, the flower possesses wonderful substance and fine texture, inherited from STARINA, its progenitor. Truly a spellbinder of delicate coloring.
