From Milliken Iris Gardens catalog, 1954: PINK SENSATION (Hall) Large flowers of light pink, full and rounded in form, delicately ruffled and accented by a bright orange beard. 33 inches tall. $7.50.

From 1948 Cooley's catalog: PINK SENSATION (David Hall, 1948) From the garden of the world's foremost breeder of pink Irises we selected this new creation when it first flowered in the spring of 1946. That same year it was seen and admired by many Iris critics, including Mr. Harry Randall, president of the Iris Society of England, who gave it special mention in his review of American Iris visits. True delicate light pink, without any influence of lilac or salmon tones, and sporting the famous tangerine or orange-red beard, it is just the kind of pink Iris you have been wanting. PINK SENSATION is a large flower, full and rounded in form, with lacinated petal edges. Extremely early--one of the very first of the tall bearded to come into flower. Height about 33 inches.
