PARENTAGE: . 0-430-6 (((M801-1 (Oriental Glory x Inca Chief)) x ((M909-1 (Pretty Quadroon x Pacemaker) x (50-12 x Cordovan))) X P 455-2 ((K387-A (50-101 x (Argus Pheasant x Pacemaker) x Trim)) AWARDS: HC'67 INTERESTING INFO: From the 1968 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: A worthy selection from our bronze toned red blend seedlings. An original color, it is resplendent with tones of red to coppery, chocolate artfully blended. The flower texture is thick and, surprisingly, on hotter days the color intensifies, taking on an even bright metallic hue. Well formed blooms, 4 branches per stem, 10 to 11 buds. A kaleidoscopic red blend with metallic sheen.
