From Schreiners Iris catalog, 1936: CAPRI. An unusual yellow blend (pictured on page 2). The color is mainly a clear warm yellow in the standards but the falls are overlaid an attractive fawn or taffy-gold. The combination is soft and pleasing. Capri is a Bruno derivative of superb form, with flaring falls of Frieda Mohr type, and the heaviest of substance. Flowers are large. We exhibited this as a seedling at the Minnesota Iris Show in 1935 where it won the blue ribbon in the seedling class and was also awarded the grand championship of the show. This variety is ideal for foreground planting, being moderately branched and about 30 inches tall Price, each $7.00.
CAPRI: (Schreiner). Heavy petals light yellow with bronze overlay—for front of border. [Belsley, Ray J., Varietal Comments. Bulletin of the American Iris Society 74 (July 1939), 16.]
Wayman, 1943: Capri—36 in. Fawn yellow of perfect form. Unusual and handsome. 0.75c.
