References

Hybridizer's comment: I have heard that some people don't know what a sunshine lady is. We had one in the Fort Worth Iris Society, whose job was to send out get well cards, birthday cards, sympathy cards. I wanted to name the iris for a particular sunshine lady from the FWIS, but she was too modest to have her name used so I just settled on 'Sunshine Lady.' [Walter Moores - 08 Jan 2010].
