ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1951 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 34" BLOOM SEASON: Mid DESCRIPTION: Orange-yellow and red-brown bicolor. PARENTAGE: Rocket x Nightingale AWARDS: None INTERESTING INFO: From the 1951 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: Here is a brilliant flash of color: the standards are orange-yellow; the smoothly lacquered falls are a rich red-brown like the finish of a horse chestnut when freshly picked and still retaining the oily, shiny lustre. Not a large Iris, its merit lies in its exceptional color appeal
