There was one particularly striking median, I-27-1, now named LIGHT CAVALRY, which Bennett is introducing in 1967. It is a flaring, deep, glowing maroon iris, standing about 14 inches high. It is nicely held, with closed standards and a velvety sheen all over the bloom. This outstanding iris has a brown beard, with just a tiny blue spot on the falls at the tip of the beard. This burgundy-maroon iris is from the red side rather than the purple; and is a median out of the well-known CAPTAIN GALLANT. [George A. Galer, “Bennett Jones’ Garden,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 184 (January 1967): 49.]
