From Keith Keppel Iris catalog, 1984: SYNCOPATION (Gatty '84) M 38" (Velvet Flame X Show Biz) Tall, robust and well-branched, this blended bicolor won the "Out of Region" award at Region 13's Spring Meeting at Seattle last year. Tan gold standards are arched and lightly touching. Vibrant rosy violet falls, blended soft orange-brown at the hafts and narrowly edged i n keeping with the color of the standards, are lightly ruffled and waved. Muted yellow beards. Makes a most impos- ing garden clump. #K84 -1A 30.00.
"SYNCOPATION (Gatty '84) is a fine improvement in the variegata class, with deep gold standards and falls that are blended violet and red with a taffeta sheen that produces a "changeable silk" effect that has become somewhat rare in modern irises. The major improvement is that SYNCOPATION's stalks are tall, with three well-spaced candelabra branches." [Perry Dyer (Oklahoma), “Melrose Gardens” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 263, (October 1986): 21.]
