Full Description

TB, 38″ (97 cm). Midseason bloom. Color Class-Y1P. Light cream self, lemon haft, cream to lemon beard. Magic Morn X sibling. Wild 1965.

From Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog 1971 “A languid creamy beauty with an intensification of deeper yellow on hafts and heart. Very wide, full blown standards, pleated and generously fluted falls, and leathery texture characterize this fine rich cream iris. An extremely worthy novelty.”

From Cooley’s Iris Catalog 1971 “A rich, creamy beauty with an intensification of deeper yellow on the hafts and in the heart. Beard is matching yellow. Extra wide standards and falls are pleated and ruffled. One of the finest of all recent novelties 38″.”
