INTERESTING INFO: From the 1939 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Named after a colorful personality of the Middle Ages, this variety is one of the contenders today for the honor of being the reddest iris. It is a large clear-toned bicolor with lustrous rose standards and brilliant, velvety crimson falls. The color is solid without detracting venation. A fine orange beard contributes a sprightly touch of contrast. One of the most handsome of the newer reds which seems to be doing well throughout the U.S. $4.00.
