From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1964: EMMA HERRON* (Sid DuBose '64) 38" Midseason (Glittering Amber X Hidden Fire) An iris of vast proportions with nearly horizontally flaring falls that are fluted and wonderfully wide. The broad and fluted standards are pretty peach pink and the falls are a blend of colors: a buffy peach deepens to buff on the haft and there is a deep pink blush on either side of the bright tangerine beard. At the tip of the beard is a clean white spot. The branching is the best and the plant is a vigorous grower. $25.00. Sid has named this iris for his beloved grandmother.
