INTERESTING INFO:
From the 2011 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: A unique blend of henna hues blesses this appropriately named bitone. Its standards are embellished with a terra cotta tint. These upright petals are deeper colored than the hazel-ochre falls. Our illustration shows the tawny ¼ inch band on the falls' edges. This russet blend is sun-fast and has exquisite flower form. In addition its vigorous bloom habit produces 7 to 10 buds on each tall stalk.
