From Milliken Iris Gardens catalog, 1954: BURGUNDY SPLASH (Craig) Another gorgeous plicata from the Craig garden. The flowers are large, with the standard color a muted burgundy-red, but on the falls the color splashes all over the cream falls, and ends up in a one-inch border of pure burgundy red. Very effective in the garden-gay and beautifuL. $6.00. |
Burgundy Splash (Craig '49) - "Unusual. Plicata having creamy yellow falls heavily stippled in rich tones of burgundy. Standards are heavily brushed with a subdued burgundy. Very outstanding." [“Region 15, Varietal Comments,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 134 (July 1954): 71.] |
