My Schreiner's order was very targeted to irises that were not available elsewhere. I wanted to add to my collection of AIS award winners, get more yellow iris and add to the bestiary. Ordering from Schreiner's (and kudos for using the apostrophe) I know I will get top quality rhizomes.
Kathy Chilton is a 2012 Wister Medal winner.

Victoria Falls is the towering 40" Dykes winner from 1984. Friends joke that it's height and size make it live up to it's name. I'll sure to stake that one!
