An iris that has been overlooked is DENVER MINT (Knopf '63); this is an extremely broad, rippling, butter-yellow which seems so smooth it looks good enough to eat. The huge blossoms are shown off on well-branched 36-inch stalks. [Joseph Ghio, “The 1965 Iris Season in Review,” Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 179 (October 1965): 82.
 
DENVER MINT (Knopf '63). "As seen for the past three seasons, another pre-eminent yellow; deep dresden yellow coloration with lighter area near beard; very fluted and ruffled petals. A strong, well-branched stem with many buds, thus blooming over a long season. Produces fine foliage and a healthy plant. Noted weakness: Fails to bloom every year, even when established." [Roger R. Nelson (Wayne, Nebraska), “An Extra Dimension” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 196, (January 1970): 7.]
