1921, Van Tubergen

'Orestes' RH (C. G. Van Tubergen) AR. pink to red toned blend, dark. Probably I. korolkowii violacea X I. stolonifera v. Leichtlinii. Van Tubergen 1921

Below is some contradictory information;

• Iris Regelio-cyclus 'Orestes'. "A fascinating Iris which is much easier to admire than to describe. It has all the grace and charm of this group, which is the result of intercrossing Iris Regelia with Iris Oncocyclus. The delicately veined standards are bronzy-mauve coloured, and the falls are shaded purple lake. The delicate beard is sap-green, and there are twin emerald lines on the style arms. Award of merit to Messrs. Barr and Sons." The Garden p.267, June 3 1922.
