INTERESTING INFO: From the 1964 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Here is a lavishly beautiful red iris of immense size and superb habit - an iris as rich as any royal tapestry from Flanders. We know of nothing to equal it in its color class. Happily our engraving does it justice Here is a new king for your iris garden. Royal Tapestry is tall and regal with excellent branching, just now being achieved in the reds. If you want a very imposing, illustrious-looking iris, something that bespeaks quality through and through, get ROYAL TAPESTRY! An iris that connoisseurs can be proud to own. Her is the culmination of a long line of various numbered seedlings bred in the hopes of getting such a rich color. $25.00
