(Margie Valenzuela, 2013) Seedling KDSG-06-11 (M-ML) 36" tall, TB. A wonderful lightly-laced sunshine yellow iris with rolling ruffles that seems to dance with each bloom! The yellow almost seems to glow highlighting the center of the falls which are a pale yellow-white blend with attractive veining. 3 blooms open at once, with superb branching and substance; great in the garden or on a show table.

(Margie Valenzuela, 2012) TB, Pamela Rae - is special. I was contacted and asked if I could name an iris after someone's daughter who is now deceased. She wanted a "memorial" for her daughter. So I showed her a couple of seedling photos and she chose this one. I'll be a wonderful and lasting tribute to her life and to her family. Note the pink-peach shoulders accentuating the over-all peach coloring. It's also a healthy, strong plant, a good grower; and a dependable bloomer year after year with laced edges. Such a worthy iris for anyone's garden. Sldg. JTLD-05-3c, TB. 31" Mid-season. Stands. and style arms are peach. Falls are a paler peach and lighter in the center. At the shoulders the color is a deep peach/warm pink w/ short lines near in color.
