References:

From Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens catalog 1963: FLAMING SNOW (Austin '63) L-40". The very heavy & extremely bright tangerine beard is much longer & comes much farther down on the falls than on any other tangerine-bearded white, conspicuously outshining such notables as Cloud Dancer & Frost & Flame. A white as pure as drifted snow, with a golden glow in center of flower at base of standards & on hafts. Large size, substance extra heavy, petals edged with lace, espeically the standards. Pollen super abundant. Put this by your garden entrance & watch everyone stop in amazement, for never has an Iris beard been such a feature before! (Palomino X Horned Lace). Regularly $35; on $40 order $15.75.
