Full Description

Late midseason bloom. Color Class-S6M.

From Carl Salbach catalog 1937: ORLOFF (Hans Sass 1937.) A most distinctive new Sass variety, which we are helping to introduce. Probably the most distinctive plicata ever introduced-giving the effect of rich brown with a golden undertone. Its rich clear colors make it easily one of the finest brown toned iris in existence. Personally we rank it with the striking Siegfried, although it is not as large as the latter. Habit and form excellent throughout. Stock limited, not more than one to a customer. Mid-season. 33-inch. $20.00.
