From AIS Bulletin #205 April 1972 Introducing COPPER CAPERS '71. M. 36". $25.00. The intense ruffling of this brilliant copper toned self is a thrill to behold. It was the most sought after iris in our garden last year. The standards are orange and the falls are orange laced with a garnet flush. There are many 5" x 6" blossoms. Gibson's Iris Garden.
