From AIS Bulletin #161, April 1961. PACIFIC PANORAMA (N. Sexton '60). ML. 40". (Swan Ballet x South Pacific) A deep sea blue, medium in tone with white beard. Round, flaring, ruffled falls and ruffled wide standards. Heavy substance and good branching. Comment from Indiana: "This iris came through a very tough winter in good condition, no signs of least tenderness."HC '60. $20.00. Neva Sexton Iris Garden.
From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1964: PACIFIC PANORAMA (Sexton) Well, we may have been right. We made a prediction about what awards this iris would receive. Watch the awards list for '64! In '63 it was at the top of the Award of Merit list and ahead of the next contender by the largest number of votes that we can remember. Deserving all of this, as it is a great iris, with its wondrous flowers of medium deep sea blue, its perfect stem and branching, and its "every-where" performance record. We are proud to have been the introducers and hope that you are among those who will be enjoying this iris for many years to come. AM'63. 12.50.
