References:

SMART BARBARA (Gibson, 1969) Each $20.00. Spreading falls of reddish tan on a cream ground with solidly colored standards of bright tan-red. The allover effect of the big flowers is brilliant rose with a tan cast, quite apart from others from this introducer. Our picture on the cover is a little too red and lacks the tan influence which marks this excellent novelty. Huge flowers on 34-36 inch stems. No. 31-3PC. [Cooley's Iris, 1969]
