ORCHID BROCADE See below: (Rudolph '65) A big flower of superb substance and most excellent form, this orchid-rose blend is very beautiful. The brilliant beard lends a desirable accent of high color. All in all a most exciting and very worth while iris. Would appear to be a very fine performer. [Ralph and Helen Lewis, “Iris from the Carolinas to Iowa and Ohio,” Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 179 (October 1965): 89.]
ORCHID BROCADE (Rudolph '65). "Despite an attraction for several varieties in this color grouping, this huge orchid-blended rose and beige could just be my favorite variety here. Extreme width of falls is noted here, with an extra wide tangerine beard and the heaviest substance I have seen in an iris. A fine stem always showing three flowers at once that last for days. Its only noted fault—can lag behind in growth in the spring due to severe winters." [Roger R. Nelson (Wayne, Nebraska), “An Extra Dimension” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 196, (January 1970): 8.]
