From Marx Gardens catalog, 1955: SORCERER'S TRIUMPH (Marx 1954) Each $7.50 Our finest veined iris with the sharpest and must contrasting color pattern of all. Extravagant and bizarre an exotic flower indeed suggestive of the Orient. Lightly ruffled double flowers, both standards and falls pure white with wide spaced red purple penciling. The brilliant purple styles stand out in bold relief and the deep orange spears add an extra dash of color. An elegantly formed flower and one of the most striking varieties in our entire collection. Midseason to late.
