From Schreiner’s catalog, 2015: F.X. SCHREINER (Schreiner 2015) ML. 40” $55.00. F.X. Schreiner’s galvanizing colors and proportion will grab you. Slightly blue infused at the midribs, the standards are otherwise a clean white. The thrilling, French blue falls flare with élan. Yellow beards unify white striping, as pictured at left. This ruffled specimen features good substance and a satisfying Iris stem habit – 4 branches with 9 buds on a stalk. Ninety years ago F.X. (Francis Xavier) Schreiner printed a modest catalog, and began selling bearded Iris. What would his reaction have been to F.X.Schreiner? The blue dominant amoena was non-existent when he was alive. He once wrote that he’d give anything for 50 more years to work with Bearded Iris. Seedling #VV178-1.
