Awaiting original catalog description.
CHEYENNE AUTUMN, registered by Floyd Jones this year, belongs in that 'good doer' class! How can you beat three good stalks plus five more increase (for next year)? I have not seen a brighter blend of these autumn hues (red, orange, brown). (This note made at bloom time) Bennett Jones 890-1 ... As I sit twenty-five feet away from this one, the standards are apricot, falls white. But WHAT is this brilliance I see around the heart and hafts? Closely examined, there is a tangerine beard with deep brownish-apricot (a color I've never before seen in an iris) on the hafts, extending to the tip of the beard. Beautiful and one you would know anyplace. Torrey tells me just now it is 5:23 p.m. (temperature in low 90's) and it appears to be a freshly opened flower of flaring form. (Why, then, did it tuck its falls back to the stalk the next morning? Just too hot?) 'Bold Heart' would be a fitting name for this one. (Jendel, 1970). A Real Challenge. Bulletin of the American Iris Society, 199(October 1970), 13.
