From AIS Bulletin #285 April 1992 Introducing EARLY LIGHT (N. Scopes '92) TB 38" M-L. We have only seen a few of Nora's irises, and this is a wonderful cream flushed lemon with yellow beards. Another yellow, yes, but this one stands out in the garden and will gather show ribbons with its branching and bud count. Great breeding potential. Cup Race X Lemon Brocade. $35.00. Sutton's Green Thumber.
