Dark Chocolate
Murray, 1952

TB 37" M

From Lyon's Irisland catalog for 1955: "This is a real advance in the dark browns, possessing a true dark chocolate color and being a complete self. It is beautifully formed and the broad fall petals have a slight ruffle that adds to the charm of a heavy substanced flower. It flowers over an extended period. For the home gardener who wants a profuse flowering this iris is ideal. Its solid chocolate coloring is rich, dark and commandingly different.."

From Schreiner's Iris Lover's catalog for 1960: "This large, dark, chocolate brown self is a standout. The flowers are a shade of brown that is different. Big, flaring and beautifully formed."
