Full Description

Seedling 67-3B. TB, 34″ (86 cm), Midseason bloom. Standards blended brown; Falls washed red-purple (M&P 47-J-6) blending to carbuncle (8-L-7) and syrup at edge; orange-yellow beard. ‘Vaudeville’ X ‘Radiant Apogee’. Keppel 1974.

From Shreiners Iris Lovers Catalog 1974 “This new autumn shaded blend of caramel and rose brown sports a remnant of yellow at the base of the standards and an orange yellow beard. Its falls are more heavily permeated with maroon that turns to brown at the edges. Excellent bud count and a vigorous grower. HM 73, AM 77.”
