Full Description

TB 37″ M-ML

From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1981: “This child of worthy Cranberry Ice is a most pleasant addition to the rose-orchid class. Note on our front cover picture how the standards overlap and hide the stamen. In fact, so broad are the petals that the standards meet underneath the style arms. This gives a ruffly character to the blossom imparting the idea of a pinafore dress. Add to this the handsome white patch below the beard and we have a touch of elegance. A strikingly colored and patterned rose-orchid. Well branched stems. 11 florets with the best substance.”
