INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1975 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Consistently one of the very finest performers, this beautifully rounded formal style bloom also has excellent bud count. Pleasantly ruffled - fresh coloring with standards light yellow and warm orchid lavednder falls. A flower that has everything going for it. Petals have a satiny smooth finish. Robust! It delights the eye, giving a bower of color early in the season when we are starving for it!
