From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1942: YOUTH'S DREAM (Carpenter 1940) A bright lustrous flower of glowing gold and rose. The firmly arched standards are rosy red with a strong flush of gold at the midrib. The strong semi-flaring falls are velvety rose with a light flush of lavender just helow the beard. The deep yellow beard and the center of the flower are so strongly golden that the whole flower glows like a signal light. Tall, well branched and very freely flowering, this iris is very brilliant in the garden. Per. R. 86 1941. 38 in. $2.50 |
