References:

From AIS Bulletin #197 April 1970 Introducing LUNAR LIGHT (125-68 X La Linda). 38". M-L. Huge pale recessive lemon of very heavy substance. Closed standards. Wide, ruffled, flaring falls. The strong, well-branched stems hold the heavy flowers upright, even in our Kansas winds. Not a sunny yellow, but the cold yellow of the moon. Exceptionally good quality and a very refined flower in spite of its huge size. $30.00. El Dorado Iris.
