Full Description

TB 35″ ML

From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1984: “A quaint and plaintive cry recalling the changing hues of the desert twilight. This flashy plicata has huge perfectly shaped and ruffled flowers. Its standards are citron greenish yellow. While the falls display fancy plicata sandings and peppering of rich maroon purple on a marked light golden-tan ground. Prominently down the top 1/3 of the fall is a pronounced central medial line. New, exciting and droll; all at the same time. Three branches, 8 buds.”
