From AIS Bulletin #232 Winter 1979 Introducing TORCH PARADE (Bledsoe). TB, 32", M-L (70-13). The colors orange and pink blend to give a bronze effect on the standards. Falls are the same with a lighter area surrounding a saturn red beard. Standards are lightly domed over ruffled, flaring falls. This iris has a delicate appearance but has tremendous substance. There are 3 branches plus terminal, 7 buds. (Sib to Golden Opportunity X Sunburst Duet). $25.00. Burch Iris Gardens.
