An iris that has been overlooked is DENVER MINT (Knopf '63); this is an extremely broad, rippling, butter-yellow which seems so smooth it looks good enough to eat. The huge blossoms are shown off on well-branched 36-inch stalks. [Joseph Ghio, “The 1965 Iris Season in Review,” Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 179 (October 1965): 82.]
