INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1989 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Sense the enchantment emanating from this elegant siren. The gracefully arches creamy yellow standards offer a mellow tonal contrast to the lavender-rose falls. Yellow beards highlight the warm violet infusion at the centers of the falls. The large, rounded and ruffled flowers have excellent substance. Tall strong candelabrum stems easily support three branches plus a spur, 9-12 buds.
