Burning Bronze Dr. Ayres, 1934 TB M S7D, From Cooley's Gardens catalog for 1937: "A dark but blazing metallic red, a flower of great size, and one of the superfine seedlings grown by Americas foremost hybridist, Dr. Ayres. This spectacular flower created a sensation when shown at the AIS meeting in Freeport in 1933, and some critics pronounced it the finest red iris in existence. It differs from most others in its bronzy finish." ((Sherbert x Cardinal) X ((Nancy Orne x Dominion) x (Loute x mesopotamica))), HM 1933, AM 1936.
