Awaiting original catalog description
ROYAL TOUCH (Schreiner) (Scheduled for future introduction) We await this iris with great anticipation. As we saw it in the Waters garden it was one of the most intensely and vividly beautiful purple flowers that one could imagine. If it had faults, we did not see them. Certainly in our opinion it should be introduced-and soon. [Ralph and Helen Lewis, “Iris from the Carolinas to Iowa and Ohio,” Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 179 (October 1965): 89.]
