COPPER CASCADE See below: (Kleinsorge)-One of Kleinsorge's best as seen both in the West and East. Not unlike COPPER LUSTRE in coloring, but considerably better in form and growing habits. [Junius P. Fishburn, "Survey of 1940 Iris Season", A.I.S. Bulletin 78 (July 1940): 54.]
"Seen here for the first time was a comparative old timer which I admired a great deal. It was a fine clump of Copper Cascade and when I saw it and noted its good color, substance and floriferousness, I expected it to be something new and expensive." [Mrs. Ed Conrad (Idaho), “Way Beyond the Hills of Idaho” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 121, (April 1951): 35.]
