ORIGINATOR: Larry Gaulter INTRODUCED: 1977 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 35" BLOOM SEASON: Mid DESCRIPTION: Light mulberry and lavender blend; deep tangerine beard; lightly ruffled. PARENTAGE: Holiday House X (Holiday House x Tiburon) AWARDS: HM'78, AM'81 INTERESTING INFO: From the 1981 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: Iris fanciers exclaim over the unusual shading of this exotic blue-raspberry beauty set off by its maroon shoulders. Many collectors rate this variety after the hybridizer’s Mary Frances as his “next best” or “equal.” It must be good! Indeed colorful. Excellent form, good branching and slightly flaring falls.
