References

From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1968: CAMBODIA {Sanford Babson '66) Daydream with us for a moment of the fabled oriental lore that this name evokes in the romantic corners of our mind - of the tenebrious jungle vastness - the carven temples floating in esoteric mysteries of golden light -the secret faces of the populace filled with dark provocative eyes drifting through our vision - Now let us describe this iris, for this was the mood that enshrouded this flower when we first saw it, but we must get down to particulars: domed and fluted standards, flaring, orbicular, ruffled falls - all of this you con see in the photo. The color of the standards is on opaque antique buff and deep inside the flower these petals are stained with deep orchid purple (like gazing into the mysterious depth of the temple - there we go again!) The falls are a pastel violet edged with olive tan leading up to solid olive gold hafts and a bronze tipped dark indigo beard. Branching is excellent; growth and increase, abundant. HM'67. There will be a few plants that we can let go this year, there are several on reservation, so HURRY, and please don't be mad if we have to refund your money this time. We will do our best if you are prompt. NET 25.00.
CAMBODIA is an exotic blending of colors on a superbly formed flower, but alas, it is very slow to increase. Its tendency to bloom heavily keeps the clump small. [Mullin, Ron (1971). Irises I Like, American Iris Society Bulletin 204(January 1972), 13.]
