Full Description
TB 36″ M, From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1958: “Imagine a really large black Iris on a 36″ stem. Not in 300 years of effort have tulip hybridizers achieved a blackness comparable to Storm Warning. Sumptuous sheen and classic form complete a notable ensemble. It’s terrific.”
(Down East X Black Forest), HM 1954.
