From AIS Bulletin #208 January 1973 Introducing MISTY DAWN (Hamblen). 34", M-L. Delightfully formed bi-color with deeply fluted ruffles. Standards are pale pink with flush of violet at midrib. Falls, violet with cinnamon hafts and thick red-orange beards. Strong stems with precise bud placement. (G. Amber x Whole Cloth) X (Lilac Champagne x sdlgs.) HC '72. $25.00. Mission Bell.
"H66-36C had light pink standards and biue orchid falls. I liked the form, branching, and coloring on this one, and feel that it is well described by its name MISTY DAWN. The beautifully ruffled flowers were displayed three to a stalk with many buds to open." [Ron Mullin, “An Iris Holiday.” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society #208 (January 1973): 15-16.]
