"I found MY VALENTINE to be a very nice attempt at a pink-bearded white (don't know if that was the goal, but that's what he got!). Huge overlapping falls are almost too wide. Yet, in spite of that
and heavy lace, the flowers appear to have no trouble opening properly on the sturdy stalks with three well-spaced branches." [Perry Dyer (Oklahoma), “Melrose Gardens”
The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 263, (October 1986): 20.]
