From Tell’s Iris Garden catalog, 1951: PURPLE FLASH (R. L. Lyell). Midseason. (Indian Hills x Sable.) Deepest red-purple self. With the sun shining through it looks very much like heavy dark blood-red stained glass. Should be highly useful for breeding rich dark colors; reds and blacks. Height 40 inches. $10.00 |
From Fleur de Lis Gardens catalog 1956: PURPLE FLASH (Lyell 1951) M. 38 in. (Indian Hills x Sable). A self of glowing, dark red purple. Extremely brilliant and an extra clean flower, this should be a fine parent for dark iris. 2.00 |
