Full Description

TB 36″+ (yellow seedling# 338 X ‘Ola Kala‘),

From Cooley’s Gardens iris Catalog 1951 (introduction year) “We have not introduced a yellow self from this hybridizer since 1944, when Goldbeater was brought out. There have been two are three times that certain superior yellows were marked for naming, and then a new one would come into flower and excel them. This one seems to be the “ultimate”. It is difficult to explain , in cold words, how this Iris is superior to any yellow we have ever seen. But it surely is just that…the deepest yellow imaginable, huge in size, very wide at the haft, ideally formed.Height over 3 feet.”
