INTERESTING INFO: From the 1940 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: This iris is another of the newer race of large pinks. It is deeper than Morocco Rose in color and slightly veined. The beard is lemon yellow, and the flower is a nice lilac pink of full form, carried on tall, branched stalks. From the 1948 Cooley's Gardens Catalog: Gigantic lilac-pink; one of the most satisfactory varieties we have ever grown. It makes great fans of purple tinged foliage, produces a wealth of 4-foot stalks of great pink-toned blooms that last over a very long period. Does equally well in all parts of the country. |
