Schreiners Iris Lovers catalog 1979 “T SUNDOWN (Schreiner 1979) ML. to L. 37 The evening sky at times presents an unrivaled panorama of amberrusset hues. With the name ‘ ‘AT SUNDOWN’ ’ we have tried to capture some of this universal beauty for our unique new blend Iris. Its fluted and ruffled petals present a luminous blending of sunburst gold, rose and
copper-brown from which emerges a blaze of rich golden tones in the center of each fall. This dazzler has excellent growing qualities, hardiness to match its beauty, and rigidly branched stems with 8 to 9 buds per stem. Words fall short of adequately describing this marvel. . .it must be seen to be really appreciated. Second best, see our illustration at left on this page.
Truly a remarkable blending of pigments! Seedling iE 911-7.
