Cleo Palmer, Oklahoma hybridizer, has played the field of the bearded irises. I ought to say more about an arilbred, FAIRY ARTISTRY, which was growing in two convention gardens on tall straight stalks, each with two branches and terminal. The pale lavender standards and chartreuse- yellow falls were accompanied by reddish brown signal and dark brown beard. The flowers were large, rather tailored, of superior substance for a half-bred arilbred. [D. C. Nearpass, (MD), “A Note from D.C. Nearpass, MD”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 238 (July 1980): 72.]
