| DREAMCASTLE
(P. Cook, R. 1943). TM-M-R7L. 38". From Schreiner's 1947 Catalog: A beautiful orchid pink iris; a cool pink, not a blend. The near white beard emphasizes the solid orchid-pink coloring. The flower is full with beautiful domed standards and falls of exceptional width, full and rounded. this gives the flower an extraordinarily full, billowy effect. This iris brings the orchid color into the modern iris. An off-shoot of pink breeding, Dreamcastle and its sister seedling Harriet Thoreau began a long line of distinguished orchid and lavender irises. HM 1944; AM 1948. Cook 1943. |
