From AIS Bulletin #237 April 1980 Introducing JEWELED STARLIGHT (Burch). TB, 45", M-L (74-21C). This pale yellow and white bicolor reminds one of sparkling jewels on a moonlit night. Its properly placed branches usually hold three open blossoms on a show stalk. The tightly closed standards are pale yellow (RHS 8C) with 1/4" ruffled, bold (13B) band around edges of the white falls. The full orange beard (28B) enhances the brightness. A typical stalk has three branches and a terminal with nine buds. (Launching Pad X Radiant Beam). HC 1979. $25.00. Burch Iris Gardens.
