References:

From Carl Salbach catalog 1947: BRILLIANT AMBER (Salbach 1947 ). (Parentage includes a number of seedlings.) Blooms are very large and are in brilliant shades of golden brown and amber with a suggestion of pink. Large, well closed standards of deep amber with slight pink cast. Big, semi-flaring falls of bright golden brown with deeper gold veining. Deep yellow beard. Heavy substance, well branched stems. Strong grower. An iris of character and distinction. 40". Midseason. $20.00.
According to Phil Edinger's "Carl Salbach: Completing the Record," AIS Bulletin 229 (Spring 1978); pp. 28-31, Salbach's hybridizing records show that 'Brilliant Amber' was the true pod parent of 'Oriental Glory', not 'Flaming Amber' (an iris that appears never to have existed). Edinger gives the pedigree of Brilliant Amber as: (Sdlg. 112-37A X 'Pacific Sunset'). 112-37A: Purissima X (Sunburst x Miss California). Pacific Sunset: Sdlg. 183-37A: (Radiant x Golden Majesty) X Sdlg: (Natoma x Miss California).
