INTERESTING INFO: From the 1980 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: That distinct flavor of a coffee house atmosphere - yet with an upbeat underworld charm. This bitone willnot appeal to the bright color enthusiast but will receive accolades from those that are seeking the unusual. It has that indefinable something we call empathy. Its color…let's say the standards are a buff yellow with a blue halation. The falls present a very silky and cool contrast of rich purple and have no haft venation whatsoever. This most unique combination produces in an ingratiating manner that mystical aura so particular to this flower. A difficult Iris to describe verbally. Tall stem with three branches, 5 to 6 buds; flowers 6 to 7 inches. $25.00
