ORIGINAL CATALOG DESCRIPTION: CANDLEFLAME (Hall, 1961) Each $20.00. Gigantic ivory-cream self with a tangerine-orange beard which shades to almost white. There is a suggestion of greenish veining in the falls, not harsh nor conspicuous, but it does seem to impart a distinct cooling or freshening influence to an otherwise warm-hued flower. Style arms are deeper ivory. Extremely broad, horizontally held falls and heavy 3-foot stems with good branching. This is a real "whopper"! Cooley's Iris, 1961.
From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 1963: CANDLEFLAME (Hall '61) M. 36 in. (From Pink Sdlgs.) A gigantic ivory white with a velvety cream finish and a rich tangerine beard offset by some cool green veins in the undertone of the falls. A whopper and a personal favorite. H.M. '62. NET 10.00.
