References:

From AIS Bulletin #244 January 1982 Introducing ALMOST GLADYS. $25.00. When we began hybridizing in 1957, one of our first crosses was Extravaganza by Pink Formal. Our goal was to create a pink amoena to be named Gladys. No other colors would do because Gladys has white hair and a pink complexion. Now, thousands of seedlings later, we have this near pink amoena that is Almost Gladys. Almost Gladys is so advanced in the pink amoena class and is so beautiful that it was voted 'Best out of Region Iris' in the combined Regions 14 and 15 Spring meeting in 1981. To grow it in your garden, order from VARIGAY GARDENS.
