From AIS Bulletin #205 April 1972 Introducing GOLD CIRCLE (Sorcerer's Apprentice X Sea of Stars. $25.00. Usually the word gold in an iris name indicates some shade of yellow or brown. The standards of this iris are a golden tan, which seem to be brushed with gilt paint after a day in the sunshine. The falls are creamy white, with a 3/16" border of tan when it first opens-but again, after a day in the sunshine, the border takes on the appearance of having been brushed on with gilt paint. The stems are gracefully curved, open three flowers at a time, well spaced. A specimen stalk of this iris is quite an eye catcher. 28" tall, late mid-season, eight to ten buds per stem. Blocher.
