INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1967 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: It is lavender of pinkish cast with large size, exceptional symmetry, and lavish ruffling of classical perfection. Its frosty, delicate hue helps fill an under populated portion of the iris spectrum. An imposing garden iris that is truly regal in the clump. We consider Dream Time a terrific iris but acknowledge that its picture fails to do it justice. It will be a major asset in any fine iris collection.
