From AIS Bulletin #252, January 1984 Introducing PINK SWAN-TB, 35", M, Self, Sdlg. 98-9A $25.00. In spite of the many fine pink~ and near pinks that have been introduced, I feel another must be allowed. Its purity and form are spellbinding including ruffles, fluting and lace. The RHS Color Chart identifies the color as near red-purple (65B) , and the soft red (39A) beard perfectly matches the refinement of the rest of this lovely bloom. Gibson Iris Gardens.
