From Schreiner’s catalog, 1964: VEL VET (Schreiner 1964) ML. 36". There is room in the iris spectrum for a good brown iris to fill the niche once occupied by the noted French origination, Louvois. Vel Vet is a large iris much browner than our picture with a most luxurious velvety nap and shimmering silken standards of golden brown. The tall stems are superbly branched. A garden classic that is a study in browns. (On Parade X Trim) Seedling No. R 431 -l. Pictured below. $15.00
