Awaiting original catalog description.
ORANGE PUNCH (Greenwood '79), unfortunately, is one of those plants that didn't do well but did provide an exciting flower which was extremely ruffled. Standards are an orange-buff blend; falls are orange with red beards. Next year this should be a dazzler! [F. G. Stephenson, (VA), “1980 Iris Season Reviewed in Virginia”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 239 (October 1980): 43.]
