ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1974 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 36" BLOOM SEASON: Mid to Late DESCRIPTION: S. brown-red-purple with light dusting of haze blue overall; F. slightly deeper with a gun metal blue sheen; brown beard tipped blue. PARENTAGE: Commentary X W 1565-2 AWARDS: None INTERESTING INFO: From the 1977 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog The subtle transformation of colors in the changing hues of this Iris weaves the haunting, mysterious aura. The sophisticated subtle blending of gun-metal blue to heliotrope with the falls etched, having unmistakable margin of light chocolate brown, spells a witchery in its makeup. Changing hues in sun or shade evoke a haunting entrancing mood. Uniquely different in its quiet, unusual way.
