References:

From Longfield Iris Farms catalog, 1937: Rhapsody (Wmsn. 1564, 1937). (No. 248 X — ). This has been an outstanding seedling in our garden ever since it was first selected along with Amigo and Moonglow as the best three Iris in that group. In color it is like a lovely piece of changeable silk — a symphony in Violet Purple and brown. The flower has a wonderful form and heavy substance. Its most outstanding feature is its late blooming period. When the rest of the Iris are showing their last bloom and looking pretty fagged out, this Iris begins to flower gloriously. For this reason it is especially valuable to hybridizers. Detail: S. arching to conical, Mikado Brown heavily overlaid and suffused Violet Purple, changeable as silk. F. rich velvety Violet Purple that suddenly shades into a decided Ox-Blood Red on each side of the beard, color solid to haft. Beard: Deep Chrome. Style Branches: Amparo Purple, crests Pinard Yellow. Wide and low branched stems, 30 inches tall. Large flowers 5" x 4-l/2"- Vigorous and rapid grower. Floriferous. $10.00.
RHAPSODY (Williamson 1937). A glowingly rich blend of smoky violet and regal blue-purple; very outstanding. Technically the standards are a blending of smoky violet tones, the beard is yellow, the haft soft red brown, and the falls deep violet, as rich as a regal robe. Good formed blooms, fine all around habit. Mid-season. 30-inch. $10.00. [Carl Salbach iris, 1938]
