LINGERING SUNSET See below: (Tompkins '65) Perhaps we have put this in the wrong place. It is a beautiful orange-apricot pink. However, the orange tones were so dominant as we saw it that we'll list it here. The standards are tight, the falls flare gracefully, the substance is excellent. It certainly drew more than its share of raves from people who really know their irises. A dandy. [Ralph and Helen Lewis, “Iris from the Carolinas to Iowa and Ohio,” Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 179 (October 1965): 93.]
