From Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog 1967 (Introductory catalog) ” Here we have one of the most heavily laced iris thus far reported. Even the styler-arms at the crest are margined with the pervading frothy lace. The half opened buds burst forth lacily reminding one of Persian cyclamens. Truly all things are possible with the Creator and the modification of genes that produce these fanciful new types of beauty represent real breaks from the norms of irisdom. 25.00″
