The most brilliant flower in the garden is SON OF STAR. Bright orange from a distance, this is actually an orange with much yellow in the falls. It increases very quickly but if you must have perfectly smooth color you may not like it, since the color seems a little coarse. [Mullin, Ron (1971). Irises I Like, American Iris Society Bulletin 204(January 1972), 11.]

From 1969 Eden Road catalog: SON OF STAR (Plough '69) EML 36. No. 64-48-2. (Flaming Star) X ((Palomino x (Apricot Glory x Ballerina)) x Marilyn C.) This has been a crowd pleaser since its first blooming. Standards are Cadmium Orange, 8/1, with a slightly pinker glow toward the mid-rib and are nicely ruffled and closed. Falls are same color at the clean hafts blending to Buttercup Yellow, 5/1 in the center area. Yellow is applied in a pattern radiating from the beard. The Marigold Orange, 11, beard is long and showy. This beauty gives a more intense orange effect than does its illustrious mother, although entirely different. Three branches and terminal. Fertile both ways. H. C. '68. $35
