AUTUMN ORANGLITE was produced by G. Percy Brown,
probably in the fifties before a true orange iris was introduced.
Likely, Melba Hamblen's ORANGE PARADE, which came a little
later, was the first 'true' orange.
Yes, we definitely have true orange. OCTOBERFEST, by
Marriott, is also another brilliant orange.
