From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1945: NANCY HARDISON (G. Douglas 1945) M. L. So many pinks have an orchid tone but this iris is definitely a peach pink with the softest blending of pale ochre yellow concentrating in the beard and heart of the flower. The pale yellow and peach standards are arched and ruffled, firmly held together by the strong midrib. The flaring peach falls are broad at the hafts and rounded at the tips. The blended colors sparkle as if dusted with golden crystals. The flowers have very firm substance with eight to ten flowers evenly spaced on four way branching stalks. An iris of rare charm that gives a very pink effect in the garden. Lovely in every way. H. C., A. I. S. 1943. 36 in. . Shown on inside of cover. $20.00.
