INTERESTING INFO: From the 1961 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: Colorful as a Tunisian bazaar displaying raiment of striking hues is this glorious plicata. Broad falls and leathery substance. What a color gem! Its fresh wine tone is so vibrant, its white blaze so clean cut, its broadly rounded form so satisfying. The giant blooms come with a prodgious generosity, creating a veritable fountain of color in the garden.
