References:
| From Iris Test Garden catalog, 1955: TEMPLE BELLS. (Hall 1952). Extra large heavy substanced flowers of a delightful golden apricot. A perfect self with the added attraction of a thick red orange beard. The entire flower is enveloped in a beautiful metallic sheen. The wide petals are of flaring form and slightly ruffled. Mr. Hall considers Temple Bells his finest golden apricot. Mid-season. 36 in. H.M., A.I.S., 1952. $12.00. |
| From Walter Marx Gardens catalog 1957: TEMPLE BELLS (Hall 1952) Each 5.00. "Ring in the new"....these t1owers seem to toll. We have here a deep, warm shade of apricot yellow pioneering a most pleasing new tone for the yellow class, withoutany red or salmon hues. It is this absence of orange or salmon, that lifts the fiery red beard to such stunning prominence and emphasises the metallic clarity of the dominant color. The flaring falls curve gracefully like bells in motion. Well branched. 36 inches. HM 1952. |
