describes this iris for it is a tall rose-red with a glowing 
yellow heart. The color is deep Eugenia rose (Ridgway), 
almost a self except for the yellow infusion at the center of 
the flower. The blooms are large of rather rounded form 
with standards flushed Indian yellow at the base of the 
strong midrib, the falls semi-flaring, overlaid with the same 
rich yellow around the thick yellow beard. The perfect 
placement of the flowers on the five way branching stalk 
allows four flowers to be open at one time with absolutely 
no crowding. Late flowering, heavy substanced blooms. and
