From AIS Bulletin #244 January 1982 Introducing CORAL SURF. This was one of the most interesting and nicest guests that I grew for the 1978 National. On white grounds, a fancy plicata done in warm blue-violet, accented by pink-yes pink-beards. This child of Brilliant Star X unknown is apparently an expression of the recesive plicata factor that we now know was present in many Hall and Hall-related irises. The pollen parent may have been another Hall-related iris, or a plicata. Form is good-ruffled, closed standards and flaring falls-and, though short (30-32" tall), branching is good. However, Coral Surf will bloom heavily. In areas milder than the Bay area, it may/will bloom out. This has exciting breeding potential. Limited stock. $35.00 Net. Pacific Hybridizers.
