Catalog data on EASTER HOLIDAY compliments of Keith Keppel, and Bruce Filardi:
From Long's Garden, Introducer, 1961 Catalog:
EASTER HOLIDAY (Durrance, 1961) E 10" (Brownie x Sari) This entrancing
dwarf Iris is a distinct novelty. Light yellow standards and medium yellow
Falls are set off in bright contrast by a startling lavender-blue beard - a
combination heretofore unknown. The gay, saucy flowers with their unique
color combination offer a gala attraction in the spring garden. The
vigorous, floriferous plants come into flower just after the tiny pumila
dwarfs and about three weeks ahead of the regular Tall Bearded Iris.
$10.00
