PINK TAFFETA and 'PINK DIVINITY' are of very similar pink color. PINK TAFFETA is the award winner and is deserving of the awards it has won. PINK DIVINITY may have a slight edge in the form department, but it comes in second in increase. It is deserving of more recognition. [Mullin, Ron (1971). Irises I Like, American Iris Society Bulletin 204(January 1972), 12.] |
PINK TAFFETA (Rudolph) - Well, Mr. Rudolph did make the Dykes with this one. A beautiful taller lighter pink than PINK SLEIGH with more ruffling than lace. It does forget to bloom sometimes but has good plant habits and nice stalks. [Perry Dyer, “A Tall bearded Collection for the Beginner”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 237 (April 1980): 36.] |
