From Schreiners iris Lovers Catalog – Collectors Edition 1997
“Gentle ruffling and lacing adorn the petalsof these well formed lemon yellow flowers. The bright yellow color of the standards also appears on the edges and shoulders of the white falls. This prolific bloomer is one of the first tall bearded iris to bloom.”
