From AIS Bulletin #220 January 1976 Introducing TOUCH OF MIDAS (1976). TB, M, 39", #149-0A. $25.00. This bamboo yellow on white ground, flushed red-violet, is a blend with tremendous substance and size, yet does not lose its class or refinement. Almost invariably a person does a "double take" and goes back for a second look at this beautiful 6"x 7-1/2" (fall 3-1/2" wide) on 39" well-branched stalk. As a seedling it has been highly adinired. CAMBODIA X ORINDA. Gibson's Iris Garden.
