Full Description

TB 36″ ML

From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1958: “Of ideal form and garden habit is this broadly proportioned color gem whose fluted petals and lacy edging create a lilting, billowy effect. The deep orchid color carries extremely well, adding a new note to the garden refrain. We consider both Lavanesque and Crispette invaluable landscape iris because of the bold pink color note which they give to the garden.”

(Harriet Thoreau x ((Angelus x ??) x (Matula x Sch. sdlg. 8-37))), HM 1955, AM 1957.
