From AIS Bulletin #185 April 1967 Introducing KIMZEY. $25.00. An air of stately charm and regal bearing is projected by this crisp and full-petaled new iris. Beautiful branched stalks with three perfectly placed blooms are a standard performance. The well-held standards are a delicate peach-pink with falls centered warm white and edged the same shade as the standards. A tangerine beard adds accent. Petal are encircled with a fine, intense ruffling which sets this variety apart. Good plant habits and generous bloom. Fertile both ways. 34". Midseason. Seedling #224-4B. VALIMAR X (( SNOW FLURRY X PINK FORMAL) X FROST AND FLAME). HC 1966. Cherry Lane Gardens.
