References

From Keith Keppel Iris catalog, 2009: SORBONNE ML 38" ((Charleston x ((Rosarita x ((Rancho Rose x (Flamenco sib x (Roundup sib x April Melody))) x Gigolo)) x Power Surge)) X Drama Queen). Intricate artwork. Standards blackish russet, with cream yellow ground barely showing in the central area. Arched falls open with bright lemon gold ground which ages to a softer creamy yellow. Dark burgundy maroon peppering and veining obscures the upper fall, continuing as a wide dotted margin, more solid at the distal tip. Beards inconspicuous, brown. Great color contrast gives garden impact. #02-81 E. $50.00; 3 for $125.00.
