References:

From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 1956: ENCHANTRESS (Hall 1954) L. 36 in. (Sunray sdlg.). A soft ivory buff with a delicate overlay of pink that is more predominate in the stands than in the falls which have a large central area of amber. Large flowers of fine form with broad heavily 9ubstanced petals. 10.00.
From Iris Test Garden catalog, 1958: ENCHANTRESS. (Hall 1954). Delicate parchment color, faintly flushed with pink, especially in the standards. The central area of the falls has an overlay of amber and the beard is brilliant orange. Unlike any other of Mr. Hall's fine things, we singled it out as his best seedling in the spring of 1950. It is an extra late Iris, with heavy stems and an enamel-like finish to the large flowers. 34 to 36 inches. $3.00.
