Full Description

TB 35″ ML

From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1988: “This provocative siren approaches black from the red side. Heavy ruffling heightens its sense of allurement. An exceptional dark with a cherry under-glow. 6-7 buds on double socketed stems.”

(((Gay Tracery x Witches’ Brew) x War Lord) X Cherry Smoke), HM 1984.
