From AIS Bulletin #197 April 1970 Introducing GREENSLEEVES. $7.50. (0. L. Brown '70) TB. Mid., 33". Slender stalks display 4x5 inch daintily fluted flowers. Base color soft French rose with fine edge of chartreuse on standards, wider border of chartreuse on falls and hafts. Beards subtle tangerine and rose. Excellent for the arranger. Sdlg. #6-15D5. Brown's Sunnyhill Gardens.
GREENSLEEVES (Opal Brown '70) was especially attractive to us because of its unusual color combination of pink and chartreuse. It is a small but dainty iris. It almost bloomed itself out. (1970. AIS Bulletin 199, Oct. 1970, p. 11)
