"H66-36C had light pink standards and biue orchid falls. I liked the form, branching, and coloring on this one, and feel that it is well described by its name MISTY DAWN. The beautifully ruffled flowers were displayed three to a stalk with many buds to open." [Ron Mullin, “An Iris Holiday.” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society #208(January 1973): 15-16.]
