From AIS Bulletin #197 April 1970 Introducing BUTTERED POPCORN (Sdlg. 12566A). A delectable, frothy, ruffled light yellow and white iris. The wide petaled blooms are delightfully formed and have a glossy sheen. This flower has an unusual texture. The standards are light yellow and the falls white, with the yellow applied in such a manner as to remind one of melted butter dripping over freshly popped corn. This airy starched flower has a strong stem and is a dependable bloomer.Late 36" HC 1968. Net $25.00. Echo Hill Gardens.
BUTTERED POPCORN is primarily yellow, so it might be described as being the color of popcorn that has had an extra large amount of butter poured over it. Like all of Dorothy Palmer's introductions to date, this one has leather-like substance and excellent branching. [Mullin, Ron (1971).
