From Carl Salbach catalog 1943: STARDOM (Hall 1941). According to Ridgeway, the color would be onionskin pink. We would describe the color as a lively brown with gold suffusion. Large blooms held on tall stems that are branched a little high. Fair substance. Midseason. $3.50.
A blend of pink, salmon, and apricot, this iris has good garden value. It is a good grower that increases rapidly. Douglas, Geddes (1942). More Variety Comments, 1942. American Iris Society Bulletin, 88 (January 1943), 63.
