SHOW GIRL (E. Nelson, 1945) : Blush rose, a true self. Difficult to get seed pods on it, but takes readily obtained when using its pollen. A cross with Hall 40-85 gave a series in 1946 of pink and red blends showing vigorous growth, strong stalks, plenty of size to the flowers and stalks mostly of moderate height with some tall. [Elias Nelson, (Washington), “Varietal Comments 1946”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 105 (April 1947): 99.]
