INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1943 Fairmount Gardens Catalog: The name is very fitting for the colors are so gay and joyous. A blending of copper, orange, yellow, red, and violet. The flowers are not large, but so brilliant that they stand out from afar among other flowers. Nature seems to have used her paint brush with a lavish hand in decorating this iris. The crisp firm substance and profusion of bloom add to the fine qualities, and it is a gem for border planting or as a cut flower. This iris attracted a great deal of attention in the Douglas garden at Nashville last May.
