Awaiting original catalog description
ELLA CALLIS (H. Sass, 1942) Each $1.50. For sheer brilliance here is an iris that will constantly catch the eye of every visitor. It is a huge deep yellow with falls flushed orange. The striking feature about it, however, is the infusion of orange-red on the falls, sort of brushed on, particularly about the center. Not a plicata and can hardly be called a blend. One of the most distinct of all Sass Irises. [Cooley's Iris catalog 1952, p. 13].
From Iris Test Garden Catalog, 1955: ELLA CALLIS. A large deep yellow with the falls flushed orange. Thirty-six inches tall. From Mr. Sass. Fine. Flamboyant. 50c.
