ORIGINATOR: Joseph Ghio INTRODUCED: 1981 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 38" BLOOM SEASON: Very-Early to Early DESCRIPTION: Garnet red; red beard. PARENTAGE: Indian Territory X Countryman AWARDS: HM'83, AM'85 INTERESTING INFO: From the 1987 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: Enticing Lady Friend presents us with an example of the ever expanding chromatic scale of colors possible in Iris. This new garnet-rose shade stands in a color class by itself. Equally important, both the freedom of bloom and excellent growth habit often give a single plant several stems per year.
