The description from the R & I is as follows but in my humble opinion it does
not do this beautiful iris justice.
OMINOUS STRANGER (Sterling Innerst, R. 1992) TB, 34", M. S. muted yellow,
trimmed muted purple and dotted with tiny brown spots; F. muted yellow, trimmed
muted purple, tiny brown dots all over; bronze beards trimmed blue-white; slight
fragrance.
