- [Cooley's Gardens catalog 1946]: Glowing red-copper self, one of the most brilliant Iris we have ever seen when viewed with the sun behind it. In such a light it resembles nothing quite so much as stained glass...rich and brilliant, almost aflame! Self colored, with orange beard. Medium height. HM AIS, 1940. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 -- DavidPotembski - 01 May 2013
