SUN VALLEY (K. Smith 1957) M. This is a bold and dazzling iris of deep clear yellow, just a little deeper than Golden Hawk. An absolute self even to the beard with very firmly cupped standards and flaring horizontal falls. The whole flower is lightly ruffled and seems to be powdered with sparkling golden crystals. The deep yellow color is the purest and richest of any yellow iris that I have seen, and it makes a wonderful clump in the garden. Admiration x Golden Hawk. 38 in. $12.00. [Fairmount catalog, 1958] |
SUN VALLEY (K. Smith 1957). A visit to the Smiths' lovely garden on Staten Island at bloomtime is brightened by huge clumps of this sunny yellow self, tall and stately. [Harry B. Kuesel: “Modern Yellow Irises.” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 168 (January 1963): 13.] |
