| From AIS Bulletin #197 April 1970 Introducing ROYAL EGYPTIAN (Georgia Hinkle, 1970) Sdlg. X-4 Each $25.00. 30-32" M. Egyptian buff, Wilson Colour Chart 407/2. There is regal bearing in this Iris! A buff toned apricot beauty, delicate in appearance but like royalty, has finish and endurance that stands out in a crowd. Intensified honey-apricot at hafts give a richness to frame the self colored beard. Closely held standards, 3-1/2" wide, flare to slightly laced serrated edges. Falls, with slightly darker veining, gently arch as rounded sand dunes then fall to slightly laced, serrated edges at the tip. A full, 'fat', well proportioned flower. Parentage LASATA X DAISY POWELL. HC, 1969. Gilbert Wild. |
