From the British Iris Society Checklist: TB, 36" (91 cm) Midseason bloom. Color Class-Y4D. The only 'yellow self' introduced by Morris: Standards and falls bright yellow, with a faint 'green' shadow on the fall. From two yellow seedlings. Introduced commercially by Wallace & Co.
From the AIS Bulletin, August 1945, No. 98 - 'The Irises of Cedric Morris' by N. Leslie Cave: A very large shapely deep yellow which, many generations back, traces to 'Golden Hind'. It has semi- flaring falls and is of medium height. This and Mr. Chadburn's latest yellow, 'Grace Tetley, were easily the best yellows I saw anywhere this year.
