From Longfield Iris Farms catalog, 1929: Flamingo (Williamson No. 256, 1929). (Lent A. Williamson X ?). Tall Bearded. Height 38 inches, stalk high but well branched, 8 flowers, well spaced. Flowers large, 5 inches high and 3-1/2 inches wide. Standards arching cupped; obovate; Vernonia Purple, shading before the claw to Primuline Yellow, with Maroon veins on the claw. Falls drooping; very broadly wedge shaped; Bordeaux; haft Empire Yellow, veined Amber Brown; beard Light Cadmium. Style branches Pale Lemon Yellow, mid-line and crest lilac tinged. The name was suggested by Mrs. Edna Engeler. In general effect this variety is a light warm rosy red, the base of the petals, style branches and the brilliant beard giving a strong central infusion of yellow. This is one of many similar Lent A. Williamson seedlings which have been carried along since 1923. Competent judges have selected this as the best of the lot. $2.00.
