ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1972 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 35" BLOOM SEASON: Early to Mid DESCRIPTION: Even shade of Rembrandt red with silky texture, slight copper halation in broad area along beard and spreading widely over haft area; deep orange beard. PARENTAGE: Royal Tapestry sib X Glowing Tiara sib AWARDS: HC'71, HM'74 INTERESTING INFO: From the 1972 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: This iris stands out among all our red iris for its approach toward red from its silky, rather than velvety textured blooms. A co-mingling of ruby and copper “shine” underlay; the predominant basic Rembrandt-red flowers in an altogether charming manner. Has all the virtues and beauty to justify great popularity.
