ORIGINAL CATALOG DESCRIPTION: BRILLIANT STAR (Hall, 1961) Each $25.00. As Golden Garland was a progenitor of Golden Years, so Frost And Flame brought into being a race for larger, more fully formed and flashingly red-bearded whites. True, there are many now being introduced. Some of them are lacking in vigor, however, and others have poor substance. We have bloomed this one for three seasons and regard it as the finest red-bearded white we have grown or seen. It is very broad petaled, full and rather rounded but not drooping, beautifully branched and very large. Since it is a 1958 seedling the number of plants is rather limited. Quite early, 36 inches. See page 2. No. 58-40. Cooley's Iris, 1961.
From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 2963: BRILLIANT STAR (Hall 861 ) M. 30 in. (Frost and Flame Sdlg). Another iris in the Giant rose class for size. Simply huge with gleaming white petals and rich red beard. H.M. 1962. 20.00.
