From Schreiners Iris Lovers Catalog – 1973 (the introductory catalog) “EM. A charmer…globular formed waxen blooms of a delicate yet unpaling shrimp to coral pink; each petal delicately colored as a thin seashell but heavily substanced. Whetting the appetite more, a deepening glossy blush pink at the base of the petals and midriff extolls the original warm colored shrimp of this harmonic delight. Greatly admired at the 1971 Wichita convention, it won the Highly Commended Award under seedling number C933-F. We have done our best to propagate as many plants as possible. Nice stems bearing three flowered open at once. 25.00”
