ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1981 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 36" BLOOM SEASON: Mid to Late DESCRIPTION: S. cinnamon gold-tan; F. rich golden yellow, burnt sugar and brown patterned shoulder patches and wire rim; golden yellow beard; ruffled. PARENTAGE: D 552-A: ((Olympic Torch x Autumn Brown) x Calypso Bay sib) X Hash Marks AWARDS: None. INTERESTING INFO: From the Schreiner's 1981 Iris Lover's Catalogue: Like a blazing spark this uniquely patterned rich gold blend will electrify all who see it. We have named it "Hot Line" becasue of its beautiful cinnamon shoulder markings of burnt brown sugar. This most telling color and pattern make for a snappy sparkling addition to the blend class. Heavily budded stems (12 buds) with branching which is not wide but even more striking because they start very low - nearly at ground level. A stop light which grabs your attention! |
