At the Iris City Gardens of Mr. Williams we saw Bronzed Nymph, a Parker seedling, of about the height, size and form of 'Clara Noyes', but without the latter's heavy veining on the falls. The flower was more nearly a self and the color effect was quite different either from 'Golden Light' or ['Clara Noyes', the two iris which it resembled most in appearance. The flower had a burnt-orange overcast which was particularly noticeable on the margins both of the standards and falls. I was very definitely of the opinion that it was sufficiently different from the other two varieties mentioned to justify introduction, but at least one noted iris critic disagreed with me. [Frank E. Chowning, "1939 Iris Discoveries", A.I.S. Bulletin 75_ (December 1939): 11.]
