INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1989 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: The elegant cerise-purple self merits an enthusiastic welcome. Immerse yourself in the luxurious appeal of its entrancing cerise-claret tones. The exquisite flower form epitomizes balance and symmetry. This sense of grace continues with finely branched stems each bearing 8-10 well-placed buds.
