The Iris is called Radiant Day Picture taken in another garden epitomizes the brilliance of Jean
Stevens hybridising
RADIANT DAY (reg. 46) 1 /S41. Radiant X May Day
(Stevens Bros 1957-58) Catalogue description
Each year see's the Bearded Iris gain an added brilliance as the
brighter notes of nature's colour box yields to the breeder's assault.
Here we have an iris that is almost gaudy - standards of bright apricot
gold, and falls of orangey-copper-red, brilliant as some tropic bird.
Fair substance and very free flowering. 3'6"
gorgeous!
