Full Description

TB. Late bloom. Color Class Y8M. ‘Siegfried’ x Madame Louis Aureau

From Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog 1943 “Largest of the colored yellow plicatas. Arresting because of its unusual combination of color. Standards are subtly flecked rose with faint cinnamon markings on buff. The falls are flecked rose rioting on a deep gold cream background. Lightly ruffled with a graceful form, it recalls ORLOFF only it is three times its size and more rose red in its markings. Striking.”
