Dave,
Orange Parade is 'orange orange,' believe me. I think Melba
Hamblen called it Spanish orange.
Orange Crush is a burnt orange, as I recall, which means it is
darker with brownish tones - like the current Golden Panther, which
is not golden or the Great White Hope, which isn't white. Orange
Frills is one I never saw, and as Neil said with those irises from the
hybridizer Suiter, they might have lacked distribution. I don't know
how 'orange' Orange Frills is.
You might check p. 99 of The World of Irises, under The Quest for
Orange, for other varieties of that day. The AM winners were:
Celestial Glory
Orange Parade
Chinese Coral
Mission Sunset
Son of Star
A child of OP is Ahead of Times. It is a good grower and always
rebloomed for me around July 4th.
