References:

From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1965: TENDER TRAP (Ben R. Hager) 38" double (Ruffled Brocade X Karahashi). This iris is pastel in tone, but is full of glittering jewel-like vivaciousness. The effect is a blend: over the silver white ground we find an opalescent shimmer of powder blue and orchid. The color is intense enough to give a good garden display. Large flowers; full and fluted. $10.00
From Tempo Two AU catalog, 1974: TENDER TRAP (Hager '65 USA) Double Mid-Season. Large full blooms on tall stems, color is silvery pastel white with an all-over opalescent shimmer of powder blue orchid. Styles are lighter with vivid gold signals setting the ruffled flowers off and giving a good garden effect. 42". HM '66. $6.00.
