Awaiting original catalog description.
HORNY LORRIE (Hager '78) is a very interesting novelty! It is an orchid and beige blend with extremely flaring falls. Yellow beards are tipped with sharp white horns. No wonder it took Ben 5 years to decide to introduce this! [F. G. Stephenson, (VA), “1980 Iris Season Reviewed in Virginia”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 239 (October 1980): 43.]
