| From Lyon’s Irisland catalog, 1959: GAY LARK (M. R. Walker 1958) $15.00 This iris is a much improved yellow bicolor. The standards are broad and erect with very heavy substance; a soft white, blending to yellow at the center of the flower. The falls are a deep orange-yellow, edged white (½") and heavily ruffled. The over all effect of the flower is brilliant, and the quality is outstanding. 55 ". (Grace Perry Nies X Canary Island). Honorable Mention 1958 |
