From 1997 Monashee Perennials catalogue: Spicy Twist (Flint '97) Tall bearded 28", M, (Anon X Copper Classic) This cinnamon colored iris has white tipped bright orange beards and is generously laced in pale orange. The standards form an almost perfect dome. The color and form are superb and we know that you will look forward to the flowers each year. Note that it is borderline in the tall bearded class and may under some conditions be a tad short. It is, however in good proportion to its height. …..$20.00
