> Will, SUPER FRILL was a 1963 registration of Lloyd Austin, which he described as "White and light burgandy-
russet plicata, doubled frilled flounces.  Spooned sdlg. 8190 X flounced sdlg. 8209."  It was introduced 
through his catalog in 1964.  The data appears in the *Check List 1969.*

appendage as a "doubled frilled flounce" has priority over anything we might come up with and certainly will 
do as a descriptive designation.

remarkable flower.  I agree, Will, the photo looks a little "burned," as if the contrast is a little too high.  Clear, 
west coast air and hot sun tends to do this with photographs.  A slight overcast softening the light is often 
more complementary to iris colors.  Austin's description of the color as "burgandy-russet" plicata on white 
ground certainly does describe its color, does it not.
