From AIS Bulletin #201 April 1971 Introducing GEORGIA GIRL (Sexton '71) (New Moon X Beauty Secret) E. 36". A sparkling, deep rich peach pink with a coral flush. Self beard. Large, beautiful form flowers with extra broad heavy substanced petals, closed standards and flaring falls. Well-branched stalks with many blooms. Net $25.00. Sexton's Iris Garden.
GEORGIA GIRL has been described as a peach-colored 'NEW MOON'. I want to see it again before agreeing. It has more increase than any other iris in my garden. [Mullin, Ron (1971). Irises I Like, American Iris Society Bulletin 204(January 1972), 11.]
