From Schreiners Iris catalog, 1944: LAMPLIGHT (Schreiner 1944) M. 34". Competition in the blend class is very keen. There is always the question of whether there is such a thing as the one finest blend, pink or red iris. This iris is colored just as the name implies, a tranquil flesh, buff, coppery self with a lamplight glow. The flower possesses lots of style and is lovely because its color is softly and deftly combined in a harmonious whole. This lovely blend is very heavily substanced, a feature we believe is important in order to withstand the many rigors of the weather. Price, each $15.00. |
From Wallace Iris Gardens catalog 1955: LAMPLIGHT - A tranquil; beautiful, soft blend. A fresh buff self with a lamplight glow. The flower possesses lots of style and is lovely because its color is softly and deftly combined without veining in a harmonious whole. $.75. |
