WEST COAST (Knopf '68). "Promising, but not fully tested in our area. However, one-year tests show very favorable outlook. Once more one is hit with a dynamic color of the deepest golden yellow intensity, very uniform in its brightness, with a guarantee of no fading or bleaching. The petals are both ruffled and laced and displayed on a well-branched stem. Growth is very complimentary to date, a primary reason this class is holding the limelight these days. May possess detracting white lines near the beard and haft." [Roger R. Nelson (Wayne, Nebraska), “An Extra Dimension” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 196, (January 1970): 7-8.]
From Joe Ghio's 1970 Bay View catalog: WEST COAST (Knopf 68) The best gold on the market. Super good form, branching and vigor. HM '69, JC '69. $20.00
From Schreiner's 1976 catalog: WEST COAST (Knopf 1968) M 34. At the Iris Convention in Berkeley in 1968 one of the Iris that was the cynosure of all eyes was this glittering, lightly ruffled, firm textured rich cadmium orange-gold self. Its vibrancy of color, clean cut form, ideal height and well-proportioned stems are choice. Pictured page 54. HM '69, AM '71. $5.00
