From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1938/39: GOLDEN FLARE (Insole 1931) "All orange, apricot and sunlight", is the description given by an English writer of this lovely iris. ·A very beautiful and brilliant iris. Silver Medal R. H. S. 1930. 38 in. $1.50.
Golden Flare is so low growing it just misses the intermediate classification. This old English iris is one of the cheapest on the market, but still merits a place in any garden because of its very full ruffling and its prodigious profusion of bloom. The closed standards are gorgeously blended rose and copper around the golden center, the hanging falls rose and pink and gold with a blue patch at the end of the orange beard. The wealth of color in each small blossom cannot possibly be depicted in words. [Lila McCombs, “A Critical Evaluation of Older Irises,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 110 (July 1948); pg. 57.]
