References:

From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2013: TWICE IS NICE (Black ‘13) TB Early-Midseason-Rebloom 42” (107cm). Twice is definitely nice when the form and color are what one would expect from a modern iris. Standards are wheat tan. Vibrant fuchsia falls have dark red plum hafts and bands. Dark burnt orange beards are a lovely complement. Several excellent reblooming seedlings were numbered from this cross. Sdlg. S69AR: Class Clown X (Cantina x Sweetly Sung.) $50.00.
