From Schreiner’s catalog, 2015: LET’S FLY (Schreiner 2015) M. 34” BONUS. Seeing the unblushing Let’s Fly for the first time equals the excitement of whizzing down the runway in a plane. The extravagant mélange of colors in the falls-- orange beard amidst white striping, all encircled by a double band of red and caramel, is triumphantly topped off on the standards, with a color looking unlike any of them – glorious saffron, as our photo at left illustrates. Well-branched with up to 9 buds on strong stems. Thanks to Joan F. from Erie, PA for her winning entry in the Annual Iris Naming Contest. Seedling #TT1024-C. |
