From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1948: ARCATA (Essig 1947) M. The name is Miyot-Indian for Sunny Spot, and it is most descriptive of this delightful iris, for growing in a clump, it gives the effect of sparkling golden sunshine. A Primrose yellow self, flushed a little deeper toward the center of the flower. Large, well formed blooms with arched and firmly held standards, and broad, flaring falls, slightly fluted at the edges. Wide branching, and vigorous growth. 40 in. $15.00. Introduced by Fairmount Gardens in 1947 for $15.00.
