INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1963 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: This vibrant deep blue iris, shown on our front cover, is enhanced by rich brown epaulets on the hafts which create a very novel effect no found in any other blue iris. These wide hafts colored this interesting brown remind one for all the world of the attractive jackets worn in the Tyrol, which do combine effectively the colors blue and brown. This is a fine foreground iris with excellent stems and abundant bloom. Its heavy substance and intense color saturation make it very showy en masse.
Tyrol is an alpine region west of Austria and north of Italy. Tyrolean is the term used to describe something that pertains to his area.
