ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1967 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 34" BLOOM SEASON: Early to Mid DESCRIPTION: Plicata with standards and falls sparingly marked clear, fairy-like pink-lavender; lemon yellow beard. PARENTAGE: R 224-C: (L 710-A: (((A 108 x Firedance) x (Rodeo x Frolic)) x Butterhorn) X Memphis Lass AWARDS: None INTERESTING INFO: From the Schreiner's 1967 Iris Lover's Catalogue: Pink plicatas have been elusive and for many years the small flowered but charming Rosy Veil has been the only iris properly credited with belonging to this category. Thus this much larger variety represents an important advance. It is truly the first large flowered, pink plicata. Its frosty, diaphanous texture gives it a fairy-like charm. Here is an iris whose wide popularity seems assured.
