Full Description

TB EM 36″
Almost white, flushed pink, with deeper pink cast about the hafts. The pink tinted beard intensified the pinkish glow of an otherwise almost white, very beautiful and different flower. Very large, with broad petals and tall stalks.
HM AIS 1960.
((‘Fairy Blush‘ x ‘Cloudcap’) x ‘Paradise Pink’) X ‘Frances Kent’.

Webmaster note: The version in the Cooley’s catalog shows a very ‘pink’ iris, not a white one with pink cast. We have a case where the description matches the iris being grown today but the picture does not. The assumption is that th e picture may have been overly tinted but the description may be accurate.
