From AIS Bulletin #149, April 1958. Introducing GOLDEN BUTTERCUP-(Solid Gold X Golden Shell) No. 20912. This is a very deep gold self and its depth of tone corresponds with R.H.S. charts No. 5 Buttercup and is much deeper in tone than either parent without being brassy. It has the vigor of Golden Shell and the large size of Solid Gold with evenly balanced standards and falls. Stalks average 40" with three branches and large well-spaced brilliant flowers that catch the eye from the distance in the garden. This is definitely an iris for those who are breeding for deep golds. A few for sale at $30.00. Richard Goodman.
