HONKY TONK BLUES

Excellent variegata with old gold standards flushed burgundy at their base and velvety cherry black falls, narrowly edged with gilt-brown. Old gold beards. Superb stalks with 3 branches and 9 to 10 buds. Ruffled flowers and vigorous growth.

Undoubtedly our favourite among our 2024 introductions ! Pure white standards with some pale yellow-green at base. Ruffled standards, almost horizontal, with a clear lavender-white ground washed and striped with purple. Each flower on a same stalk is different depending on the purple rays. Beards clear orange on a yellow-green area lighten these magnificent flowers. Well-branched stems, 7 buds in average. Sibling to ‘As de Carreau’ (Cayeux 2024).

Slender and well branched stalks carrying graceful, light aniline violet flowers. Standards are lighter and more pink. Golden yellow styles and beards. A decorative and rather long flowering variety.

Waved flowers delicately laced on the edges. Mauve tinted when it opens, it becomes immaculate white a few hours later. Nice tangerine beards and 8 to 10 buds.

A slightly strange but attractive colour : medium purple standards, burgundy toward the heart. Almost horizontal falls coloured somewhere between magenta pink, purple or violet. Purple beards. An abundance of flowers: 3 to 4 branches per stalk carrying each between 8 and 13 buds!

This is the result of the search for perfection in blue-red bearded irises. It is a pure light blue with orange-red beards. In addition to the purity of the colour, its growth habits, shape of the flowers and count of buds are excellent. Prizewinner at the American Convention and the Florence International Iris Competition in 1998.
