INTERESTING INFO: From the 1995 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: Party Lights will illuminate that special garden corner. Our pictures shows how the intense apricot standards blend to a yellow-apricot band around the falls. Radiant tangerine beards and clean white center spots give this festive garden beacon a lively romantic glow. Tall thick stems nicely unfurl 8 to 9 flowers per stalk.

Party Lights must not have been a very proud achievement on the Schreiner’s list, as it has not been sold in any Iris Lover's Catalog since its introduction in 1995.
