| From Schreiner's Iris Garden website: "Beautiful bitone that can also be classed as a neglecta. The domed standards are a mid-purple. The semi-flaring falls are purple overlayed black onyx with a wide band of mid-purple. Bubble ruffling gives the bloom a lilt. The tangerine beards shine out from the heart of the bloom like a beacon in the night. Good placement on show branched stems. No. 12-83B2: Luxuriant Lothario X Bravery." |
