| From Maple Valley Iris Gardens catalog, 1945: BURMESE GOLD (No. 4158) A glowing gold blend of delightfully ruffled form and graceful carriage. It has such a smooth combination of deep yellow, pink. apricot and real gold that it is in effect a salt of about the shade Ridgway calls bittersweet pink with a central light like a candle flame. The branching is not particularly wide but the arrangement of the buds gives it a long season of fresh and lovely blooms. 34 to 36 inches in height. $30.00. |
| "Burmese Gold (Whiting '45) is a glowing blend of pink, yellow and pure gold so smoothly combined it seems almost a self. It has a luminous quality that gives it great garden value." [David R. Kinnish, O. S. B., (Kansas), “In Kansas, Missouri and Illinois,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 107, “Iris Ramblings” (October 1947): 41. |
