From Cooley's Gardens catalog for 1941: "A huge golden pink, with slight undertones of copper. The flowers are well shaped, with closed standards and falls that are semi-flaring, but there is a suggestion of ruffling in the entire blossom. This iris might be visualized as a giant Noweta, of perfect form and with more intense coloring. It has excellent branching and the stems are three to four feet tall. The name is most appropriate, and we regret that our color plate could not be completed to include in this year's catalog."
