From Eden Road Iris Garden catalog for 1961: “Gorgeous pastel blend with standards of bluish pink shaded deeper apricot on edges. The falls are a delicious creamy apricot with the color intensified on the hafts by the tangerine beard. There is a chartreuse glow in the center of the flower.”
From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1965: “A new pleasing color combination of blush-pink on buffy cream standards and falls a delicious apricot or peach sherbet color intensifying toward the haft and reflecting as it were, the tangerine beard. A very subtle iridescent iris full of exquisite nuances.”
