From AIS Bulletin #157, April 1960. Introducing CHANCES ARE (Schaan '60) M.L. 38". (Apricot seedling x Magic Mood) A luscious true apricot self, appears to come from red undertones rather than orange undertones. The beard is same color as flower which makes it appear so clean and appealing. This is a new iris color, different from anything I have seen. Excellent branching, substance and nice semi-flaring form. A beacon in my garden. Tested on the Pacific Coast and it came through beautifully on a one-year clump. Best seedling of the show, St. Louis '58. H.C. '59. NET $25.00. Schaan's Iris Garden, Landsend Iris Garden.
