INTERESTING INFO: From the 1954 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: In our annual battle with the engraver for accurate color rendition, we sometimes come off second best. The ethereal beauty of Orchid Ruffles escaped him. This Iris is a true lavender color - a hue eagerly sought in other flowers but neglected among Iris in the mad pursuit of true blues and true pinks. Lacy ruffling and shimmering texture give this self-lavender an especial charm. The discriminating fancier will take Orchid Ruffles to his heart. $15.00
