From AIS Bulletin #213 April 1974 Introducing SOLANO (Luihn '74). Sdlg. 71-1. New Moon X ((Gracie Pfost x Orange Parade) x Spanish Gift). TB, VE-E, 36". Here is a vibrant sunny yellow to usher in the long-awaited iris season. It blooms very early and stays in bloom over a long period of time, and is one of the very few yellow irises which does not burn in our climate. It has inherited all of the good qualities of its pod parent-the tall, stiff stems, good branching and substance plus better than average increase. Its domed standards and wide, fluted falls are a luscious shade of lemon yellow with a wide self beard. $25.00. Luihn's Iris Garden.
