INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1967 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Depth of color imparts richness and Superglow approaches the ultimate. This iris belongs to what we call our Oriental rug series which began with Salbach's Oriental Glory many years ago. Superglow is a gorgeously rich development, its color being a fascinating blend of fuchsia and Rembrandt red margined with a glistening chocolate brown that is more noticeable in nature than in the engraving. A nicely ruffled flower of large size and generous breadth of petalage; we are happy to introduce such a fine iris.
