From Mid-America Garden catalog, 1987: COCOA PUFF- TB, 34" (86cm), Midseason. If you like your iris dainty and yet still full formed, try this fluffy beauty. The color is rather a unique blending I call cocoa pink, resembles the color of the breakfast cereal Cocoa Puffs. Standards are cocoa pink and falls have an ivory ground with a cocoa pink plicata wash around margins and line down center of falls. Style arms are apricot orange and beards purple overlaid on top with cocoa pink. Flowers are beautifully formed with fluted ruffling. Nicely branched stalks have 2 branches plus spur. Sdlg.
