"In the Buttrick gardens at Concord bridge I had my first look at the famous Spanish Peaks. But what I saw could hardly have been typical—a huge, droopy flower of poor substance and extremely long pinched falls, the subject of much comment from the visitors, but little praise. It must surely have been very different in Colorado to have gained its high rating." [John Dolman, Jr. (Pa.), “Forty-Nine East,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 115 (October 1949): 46.] |

- Of the 3 pictures, one has a yellow beard, the other two have a white beard. I suspect the one picture with the yellow beard is Purissima. -- WikiGuest - 01 Aug 2017
