IRIS Hybridiged by Mrs. Stevens 
As Introducted to the U.S.A. by Schreiner’s Gardens, 1950 
Rarely does an Iris make a modest debut only to achieve an unanticipated fame by 
sheer merit. We feel that such will be the case with this Iris. A remarkable yellow, 
first, because it is a soft luminous lemon to sulphur yellow, not a brilliant yellow 
nor the Elsa Sass type of yellow but distinctly different. Secondly, because of its season 
of bloom, which is late, it stands meritoriously apart from other yellows which, as a 
class, are prone to be early flowering. It is described by the originator as a clear lime 
yellow without a hint of green. Nor do its attributes stop here. The flower stylist 
will be delighted by the unusual serration of the petals, serrated as if they were finely 
notched. A flower of delicate enchantment and unusual grace; the 
only Iris of its kind. An over all cool yellow even to the beard, 
which is the same shade, giving perfect harmony. See illustration.

Serene, lovely, rounded flowers of a delicate pearly shell color or 
opalescent cool pink. So cool and morning fresh it is bound to 
capture your attention and admiration. A texture so fine 
the creamy pink coloring seems to shimmer in the sunlight. 
A hint of copper in a half inch margin around the edge 
of the petals and the rich mellow throat makes the whole 
flower glow. Exquisite planted with light blues or deep
