| FIESTA (White 1936) M. 36". A very large copper-toned flower of great charm. The standards are honey yellow, flushed golden brown and mauve. F. cinnamon brown, with orange undertone, with a flush of mauve in the center. Beard brilliant gold. Will undoubtedly be very popular when distributed. [1937 Quality Gardens catalog, Freeport, IL.] |
| Here[Silas Waters garden, KY] I received my first glimpse of 'Fiesta', which I described, in my notes, as a lovely rose-tan. The color is really indescribable, but attractive. I saw it again in Indiana, later, and there it was taller but much more tan and less coppery. It was low growing in both gardens, but Mr. White tells me that it grows 50" tall with him, so I shall look forward to seeing it again on an established plant. [A.I.S. Bulletin 72:7 Jan. 1939] |
| From 1937 Schreiner's catalog: FIESTA (WHITE 1936) L. 34". At last a copper iris that imposes no strain on the imagination or requires no viewing of itself in the slanting rays of rising, or setting sun to light it up. A warm, glowing copper of smooth, satiny texture. A self color of fine oval form with broad, copiously formed falls. The only copper iris we have seen that carries its color at a distance, thereby providing an important new color note for the landscape artist. $15.00 |
