Full Description

TB, 34″ (86 cm), Early midseason bloom. Rose-pink self. ‘Ballerina‘ X ‘Happy Birthday‘. Cooley 1962.

From Cooley’s Iris Catalog 1967 “This is an exquisitely laced new pink self with melon pink beard, jewel linke in finish and color. The standards are large and domed, the falls high and held high before arching. Style arms are large and heavily laciniated in keeping with the “pinking shears” treatment of all petal edges. Vigorous, well branched three feet in height.  2.50 each.”
