Awaiting original catalog description
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland 1934) M. 40". A novelty unlike anything we have grown before. Its color is its great distinction, but its fine form and poise are notable, too. S. a copper and rose suffusion threaded with gold; F. bright red flushed copper. The stalk is tall and graceful and the blooms last a very long time. A most effective garden iris of great beauty. $7.50. [1937 Quality Gardens catalog, Freeport, IL]
Junaluska: (Kirkland). Rather a variegata type but stalk seems too tall for size of flower, very brilliant. [Belsley, Ray J., Varietal Comments. Bulletin of the American Iris Society 74 (July 1939), 17.]
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland 1934)--This in my opinion is Dr. Kirkland's best iris of the coppery red series. It can briefly be described as a blend of rose gold and copper, and is most telling in the garden. The form of flower, however, is not very good, but flowers are carried on well branched 40" stems. [G. L. Pilkington, "Iris Notes", A.I.S. Bulletin 74 (July 1939): 51,53.]
JUNALUSKA (1932), a blend of gold, rose and copper. Flowers of good size but lacking in substance. Well branched stems-36". [G. L. Pilkington, "Iris Notes", A.I.S. Bulletin 74 (July 1939): 35.]
JUNALUSKA (Kirkland 1934), considered one of the Chancellor's best, and runner up for the Dykes Medal 1938. [G. L. Pilkington, "Iris Notes", A.I.S. Bulletin 74 (July 1939): 32.]
Junaluska, runner-up for the Dykes Award, is to my husband, the "prettiest iris that ever was." So brilliant are the coppery-rose standards of this very early bicolor they give a garden effect of burnt orange. The very short, round, flaring falls are chestnut red. [Lila McCombs, “A Critical Evaluation of Older Irises”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 110 (July 1948): 57-58.]
