LEILANI (Washington 1943) M. Charming and entirely different, this iris has great color appeal and is most outstanding in this new class of orange pinks. The standards are Venetian pink, well domed and firm. The rounded falls are the same color with well defined lines of deeper pink which give added intensity to the flower, while the peach red beard completes the color harmony. Eight flowers well spaced on a wide, low branching stalk. H. C., A. I. S. 1941. H. M., A. I. S. 1945. R. 88 1946. 35 in. $20.00.
