INTERESTING INFO: From the Schreiner's 1961 Iris Lover's Catalog: From two such auspicious ancestors as Broadway Star and Gaylord comes this brilliantly contrasting variegata. The deep maroon falls are rich and velvety; the clean, crisply-carried standards are a luminescent pale gold deepening toward the edges. The whole effect is much fresher and more charming. A clump of beautifully branched Kahili is like a sconce of lighted tapers in the garden. In its color class, Kahili has no superior.

Kahili are feathers used for Hawaiian royalty.
