Full Description
TB 37″ L
From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s Catalog for 1966: “Amethyst Flame has proven a remarkable parent and here we have infused into its cool lilac an opalescence of warm pink derived from Pretty Carol. May Delight has superb rounded form with generous ruffling intensifying toward just a suggestion of a lacy edge. A truly fascinating iris, its sturdy, tall stems and suede-like texture and late season bloom, which prolongs the iris season are all desirable features.”
