KINGDOM (Fay '64). "One of my favorites for four seasons. Emphasis here is on clear, ultra clean deep yellow color with wide, heavily ruffled petals; substance is exceptionally heavy; stalks are strong and consistently average to well branched. This always has been a healthy, vigorous grower in our area. Primary fault: Tendency to bloom too heavily." [Roger R. Nelson (Wayne, Nebraska), “An Extra Dimension” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 196, (January 1970): 7.
KINGDOM (Fay '64) had only one stalk in bloom, was quite tall with very large and bright yellow flowers with a distinct white blaze at the end of a gold beard. Flowers are very well formed, again heavily ruffled, wide, and of extra heavy substance, like parchment. [Roberts, Earl (1964). Taped Commentary on Fay Garden, American Iris Society Bulletin 174(July 1964), 49.]
