Achievements continued with the arrival in 1938 of TIFFANY. (KING TUT X MORNING SPLENDOR) F2, one of the prettiest of this color series. Unusual and altogether charming, this medium-tall plant had good-sized blooms with airy fluting, marked rose-lavender on a deeper yellow background. At its origin the yellow ground plicata section enjoyed a color differentiation that was perhaps more visionary than actual. [Schreiner, Robert (1943). The Evolution of our Yellow Plicatas. American Iris Society Bulletin, 88(January 1943), 60.] |

The stippled plicata, Tiffany, is a weird, magnificent flower of rosy lilac with ruffled standards and huge, hanging folded falls, having a large unmarked area of the creamy ground at the end of the beard.
