- From Quality Gardens Catalog, 1936: CORALIE (Ayres 1932) M. 38”. The loveliest color we have seen in an iris. The broad standards are rose-pink flushed lavender, the falls a glowing shade of wine red. The pure golden beard enhances the beauty and adds to the dazzling effects of this fine variety. $7.00 H.M.
