From the 1983 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Warm, fresh and alive with color...capturing the spirit of an impromptu live concert performance. This bit of floral syncopation has blossoms that nicely contrast in a bicolor the fancy pink-peach standards against the rich rose-pink coloring of the falls. Most striking is the stiff midrib on each fall which re-echoes the mellow peach-pink tones of the standards. Add the vivifying "beat" of lacy edging and one has a most pleasing ensemble. Opens three florest at one time on nice three branched stems with eight buds. Line up early for your tickets to its premiere performance next spring.
