Awaiting original catalog description.
From National Iris Gardens catalog, 1940. BLENDED BEAUTY (Nat'l.) ML. 40". Seven fragrant, large blossoms to a perfectly branched and exceptionally heavy stalk. The slightly open S. are of bronzy gold while the down falling, ruffled F. are of Pompeian red edged with bronze and bearing gold beard. Both S. and F. have very heavy substance and the flowers are exceptionally long lasting. This blended flower is a vastly superior Mary Geddes, the blossoms being half again as large and being of a better formation. S. do not show the red suffusion apparent in Mary Geddes and the F. are not rounded but are larger and better shaped, displaying a much brighter red tone. $3.00.
