INTERESTING INFO: From the 1975 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: A vivacious sportive gaily colored Iris - this lacy edged amoena with glistening crown of silver white standards and the handsome foil of rich, sumptuous, dashing rose-purple falls is trim and neat with an individual buoyant air. Not a large flower, the approval this Iris generated at the National Iris Meeting 1974 in Roanoke, Virginia confirmed our opinion all fine Iris do not need to be large to be personable and praiseworthy.
