"The first "red" iris I ever saw was Dr. Lee Lenz's Claremont Indian. He produced it in the 50s, in a cross of
innominata and probably
douglasiana. It was the foundation for the reddish irises that appeared in Southern California, such as '
Pasadena Indian' and '
Native Princess' by George Stambach.
