Pink Opal J. Sass, 1934 TB 48" ML R1L From Cooley's Gardens catalog for 1938: "A sister seedling of Pink Satin, of much greater size and half again as tall. The blossoms are lilac-pink, self colored, and abundantly produced, although the tall stems are short branched. However, the blooms appear all along the stalks, so that the lack of branches is not apparant in the garden picture. Very beautiful, and a bargain at the price." From Schreiner's Iris Lover's catalog for 1944: "An ethereal, opulent light orchid pink. Easily one of the tallest pink iris. Large, easy to grow, a splendid massing variety."

From Carl Salbach iris catalog for 1939: "Tallest of the lavender pinks. Individually this variety has the technical fault in that its attractive blooms tend to bunch together near the top of the stalk. Actually, this is an distinct asset, as far as clump plantings are concerned, as it present a solid mass of color. Lavender-pink, not as deep as that of Dogrose, but its color is on par with that of others of this type. Blooms large. Mid-season. 48-inch."
