LIGHT PINKS Continued from previous page 
One of the most interesting chapters in iris development has been the evolution of the wonderful pink iris we now enjoy. In the 
cool orchid tones the introduction of Dreamcastle and Harriet Thoreau has given us beautiful, broad formed blossoms. A slightly longer 
type would be airy Lullaby while the only flaring orchid iris we have is Orchid Lady. Melanie remains one of the fine iris of this class 
while late flowering Angelus is noteworthy as is its opal colored seedling E/ Morocco. 
In the warmer shades of pink the leather substanced, yet subtly colored, Pink Reflection is an iris of unusual value. Tea Rose is a 
most pleasant shade with fine floral habits. The older mallow pink China Maid and rose pearl Morrocco Rose are very satisfactory. The 
pleasant combination of creamy yellow with pink shades gives some especially lovely flowers. Though they are not ‘‘true’’ pink their 
garden effect is such. The pastel cream and pink Remembrance is fine as is the deeper shaded, salmon toned Majenica. The sunrise series 
includes Daybreak, ee ee rosy tan and very similarly colored Sonrisa. Chantilly is of interest because it is the most ruffled iris. 
The thrilling development of the “‘sea shell’’ and ‘‘flamingo’’ pink iris is one of the most interesting new developments in iris. 
The extreme delicacy of coloring with an inner glow to the flower, wonderfully contrasted by brilliant tangerine colored beards, is 
most impressive. Pink Cameo is the standout, clear colored and a wonderful grower. The finest of the “‘sea shell”’ iris is Spindrift, a shell 
Pa color with faint lines on the falls. Two companions Dream Girl, the pinker, and Overture, the more peach toned, are from the 
amous ‘‘flamingo’’ family.

Three iris that stand out individually from each other as well as in the garden are striking Mulberry Rose, rich shaded Inspiration 
and warm, rose red Red Amber. Kentucky Beauty with its smart flaring blooms and lovely Lighthouse are fine iris. The amount of varia- 
tion within this color section is quite remarkable. For novelty of color unusual shaded Alastor, ees toned Aubanel, coppery rose 
Mandalay or the quiet, blended beauty of Tapestry Rose are good examples. Frieda Mohr we continue to feel is an indispensible. More 
heavily blended with fawn and tan Alpine Glow and Three Oaks are much sought after. Matula isa standby. Lighter and more pink toned 
Hoosier Sunrise presents as pleasant a clump as can be imagined. Arethusa and Cedar Rose are fine color gems.
