See below:
Eros (Mead-Riedel, 1934). A glorious pink blend and without a doubt one of the loveliest and most pleasing Iris ever introduced. It has a silky texture, a large shapely flower on a 42-inch stem with an iridescence of shadings from Vinaceous through Carthaginian Pink, pinkish Vinaceous to Hydrangea Pink with much warm yellow at the haft and deep yellow beard. All of this delightful coloring results in a definite garden effect of salmon pink. It has had as high as 12 flowers to a stem. Very fragrant. Very vigorous and a fast multiplier. $15.00. Longfield Iris Farm Catalog, 1934. |
'Eros' (Mead-Reidel, 1934). A beautiful salmon pink self. It has an undertone of yellow. Tall and exquisite in color and well deserves its H.M. A.I.S. which it received in 1934. 42 inches. Mabel Carey Tobie, “Iris Notes on Mrs. Thomas Nesmith’s Collection,” Bulletin of the American Iris Society No. 59 (October 1935): 59. |
