| From Longfield Iris Farms catalog, 1955: ORANGE BANNER (No. 451) (Orange Gem x Orangeman) H.C., A.I.S. 1954. A handsome, brilliant orange yellow Iris that will please not only those that like pure self color but those who like large showy Iris. The blossoms are even larger than Watermelon with very broad standards and falls. The standards are nicely domed and the falls semi-flaring. Ridgway Color Chart shows Orange Banner to be somewhere between Cadmium Yellow and Cadmium Orange; beards are Cadmium Orange. The orange buds are of tremendous size with a green midrib on outside of flower. Stalks are well branched but perhaps not tall enough for size of flower. It has no pollen! 34 inches. Midseason. $20.00. |

It stands out so in the garden that it gets lots of attention. Petals broad & full, nicely flaring. HM'55, AM'59 Orange Gem X Orangeman. Regularly $2.50; on $10 order $2.25; on $25 order $2.10. |
