From AIS Bulletin #241 April 1981 Introducing EASTER FINERY-Sdlg. 1477A: (Starring Role x Meghan) x Louise Watts sib. An effervescent, shimmering iris to brighten up the new Spring season. The whole flower is a mass of delightful, deep and undulating ruffles and lace. The heavily crimped light yellow standards blend outward to a white border. The wide, gracefully flared falls are light yellow at the haft, and this shade extends to the edges of the petals. But around the yellow beard and most of the falls the color is white, rimmed light yellow. It increases well and is a bouquet of delectable blooms. A real tantalizer to lure one's interest! Midseason, 36". HC 1980. $25.00. Echo Hill Gardens.
