Awaiting original catalog description
ORIENTAL BABY (Guenther '64)-An old iris by today's standards remain a unique beauty that is constant. This rose-beige and crimson bitone of wide flaring form carried on well-branched stems is still as new as the day it was introduced. [Joe Gatty, “A Median Review,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, Vol. 55, No. 214 (July 1974): 56.]
