ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1975 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 37" BLOOM SEASON: Mid to Late DESCRIPTION: Gold self with sharp white wash in center of F.; golden beard; ruffled. PARENTAGE: Denver Mint X Soft Moonbeam AWARDS: HM'76, AM'78 INTERESTING INFO: From the 1975 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: How we wish we could show this Iris to you in third dimension! There is a quality about this lovely one. We despair in the effort to convey its charm, intrinsic beauty and uniqueness. A large bloom with an interesting appliqué of what seems to be gold leaf of gilt, enameled gilt gold concentrated along the midrib paling to a creamy white, edged with ruffling. The colors are beautifully applied, singularly different from any other yellow variety. Multiply our feeble effort to portray this beauty as shown in our photo above and you will just begin to envision what a lovely flower this is. Has three branches with 5 to 6 buds per stem.
