From Schreiner’s catalog, 1953: STORM WARNING (Schreiner 1953) M. 36". "It's terrific!" our visitors cried upon seeing this supreme exemplar of luxuriant blackness blooming in regal dignity in our display garden. Imagine a really large black iris on a 36-INCH STEM! Not in 300 years of effort have tulip hybridizers achieved a blackness comparable to that of STORM WARNING. Sumptuous sheen and classic form complete a notable ensemble. Watch your neighbors "blow their top" in sheer admiration when a clump of this sensational beauty blooms in your garden! No. G289. $20.00. |
