| From Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens catalog 1964: MAZATLAN (Hall '59) M-32". A beautiful novelty in unusual coloring. Standards snow-white, flushed amber at base. Falls have white ground, blending to lilac-blue beyond center. Beard red-orange on amber ground. Named for exciting fishing resort on west coast of Mexico, with white fleecy clouds, blue skies & brilliant sunsets. Entire flower fringed & shirred at margins. Try this for something really different! Regularly $3.50; on $10 order $3.15; on $25 order $2.95. |
| From Cooley's Garden 1959 catalog: (Hall, 1959) Each $20.00. Amongst the myriad of flamingo-pinks, whites with tangrine beards, fringed bi-colors such as Golden Garland, blues and apricots in the Hall seedling crop there appeared this unique color break. At first we were startled, and then casually passed it up. But the next year it put on quite a show and was admired by Mrs. Stevens, of New Zealand. She has given us so many famous Iris, including Pinnacle and she thought it had remarkable possibilities as a breeder. Our picture is an excellent likeness of the flower itself. Standards are practically snow-white, flushed amber at the base. Falls have a white ground but blend into blue beyond the center. Beard is red-orange on an amber ground. The entire flower is fringed and shirred at the margins. It is from pink breeding but the number is not available. 30-33 inches, well branched. We named it for the exciting fishing resort on the West Coast of Mexico, with its white fleece clouds, blue skies and waters and brilliant sunsets. |
