INTERESTING INFO:
From the American Iris Society Bulletin for April 1978, Walter A. Moores Introductions: Pale yellow (salmon pink) self; self beard. This is one of the most multi-budded border irises I have grown, blooming over a long period. Nice tailored form, but if you must have lace or ruffles, don't try this one. Even better in November.

From the 1989 Moonshine Gardens Catalog: True medium light pink including beard. A very late rebloomer for milder climates but it's fertile and capable of giving children with much stronger and earlier RE tendencies! Is one of CANDYLAND's parents. Open standards, otherwise excellent all the way. Limitied.
