Awaiting original catalog description
RIPPLING WATERS, from the same hybridizer [Orville Fay], heralds the advent of a new color break. It would be necessary to analyze the color spectrum before one could arrive at the exact tone, but light blue-orchid is close; a tangerine beard adorns each fall petal. Piecrust ruffling completely encircles the blooms which are perfectly placed on graceful stalks. A one-year plant, guested in our garden, produced six large, healthy increase. Melba Hamblen, "Honors, Review and Preview", A.I.S. Bulletin 164 (Jan. 1962): 15.
 
RIPPLING WATERS (Fay '61). "The most beautiful blended orchid, pink and cream capped with a bold red beard. Beautifully ruffled and laced form and a fine stem. Commanding in a clump and serene in the living room vase. Has so many fine qualities that it can be faulted only in its tendency to produce smaller type flowers, due to certain winter weather conditions. Still one of the most dependable Dykes Medalists in recent years." [Roger R. Nelson (Wayne, Nebraska), “An Extra Dimension” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 196, (January 1970): 8.
