From Schreiner’s catalog, 2015: FOR VERONICA (Schreiner 2015) M. 38” $55.00. This near self, only the black center of the falls breaks the pattern, is another example of the ever-expanding palette of Iris colors. Currently there are few varieties of this wine-colored purple. A lighter medial stripe runs down from the purple beard. See in our photo below, the wide, ruffled petals of For Veronica. With excellent substance and 8 buds on 3 branches. Veronica Haag, our Grandmother, was married to F.X. Schreiner, our Grandfather and the originator of Schreiner’s Gardens. Veronica was a hard-working, giving person, who outlived her husband by 47 years. She baked delicious pies – some the color of For Veronica. Seedling #WW106-A.
