NUIT DE NOCES

A good son of the variety "Caliph". Medium brown standards and lighter orange-brown falls, paler below the deep gold beards. Rich colour, excellent garden value.

Pink, pink, pink! From two magnificent pink parents: ‘June Krauss’ and ‘Hortensia Rose’ here is a new, intense pink flower with the purest of coral beards. Unfussy, plump flowers. Good foliage and 8 buds per stem on average. (Cayeux seedling 10 276 A)

Belongs to the category of "miniature tall beardeds", a sort of bonsai but quite beautiful. Pure white standards and purple to black falls with a fine white border. The yellow beards are surround by purplish black striations. Most interesting!

Certainly not a champion for number of buds: on average 5 to 6 . However this son of 'Macaron' and 'Ciel Gris sur Poilly' is one of the most surprising. Soft yellow standards and cream toned falls, peppered and edged in purplish red! Yellow beards. Lovely shape. (Cayeux seedling 07 135 A)

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.

Years of research were needed to obtain this rare jewel which offers a striking and clear contrast: practically pure white standards with an almost imperceptible violet border and jet-black falls with golden yellow beards. These wide flowers are ruffled on the edges and stand on a well branched stalk. Previewed at the 2012 edition of the Chelsea Flower Show, they were a huge success with the new varieties enthusiasts.
