Gay Paree
Plough, 1954

TB 38" EM, From Schreiner's Iris Lover's catalog for 1960: "This flashy, highly colored, carnival-like flower is a piquant iris that will illuminate your garden. a snowy white floret with an overlay of chartreuse and gold on the upper part of the falls and a heavy geranium-red beard. Sparkling."

((Hall pink sdlg x The Capitol) x (Loomis pink sdlg x Golden Eagle)), HM 1956.
