From Schreiner’s catalog, 1963: EYEFUL (Schreiner 1963) M. 38". $15.00. Over the years there has been a dearth of good tall and well branched red iris. Many tend to be unduly short or lacking in branching. Here we have a midseason red of a delightful shade of uniform mahogany red with a most attractive bright gold-orange beard. The full formed bloom is almost a self, rich as mahogany red velvet …a sumptuous color. The fine branched stems, with many buds, display three ideally spaced florets in bloom at the same time. Rich, attractive and a real advance in the red class. Seedling P582-l. |
