Full Description

TB 38″ M

From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1952: “There is no copper shortage in this stunning seedling out of Bryce Canyon X Sunset Serenade. Indeed we think it has more honest-to-goodness copperiness, more metallic brilliancy, more new-penny glitter than any other blend we know. The handsomely formed blooms of generous size hold their color well in the strongest sun. Truly an outstanding new Iris.”
