FRIENDLY SEAS

Light and glistening havana brown infused golden yellow beside gold beards. Dykes French Medal in 1931.

Named after the beautiful Ile de Ré off the Brittany coast, it displays a combination of delicate seaside colours: the bluish-white on opening becomes pure white in full bloom. Pale yellow beards tipped with white. Numerous remarkably shaped ruffled flowers and a strong multiplier.

Here is the superb descendant of our excellent "Noctambule". Yellow standards with slightly amber edges stand above the plum-violet falls with their orange beards framed of bright-yellow, which creates a lively and vivid effect. The magnificent low branching stalks carry an average of 8 buds.

Bred from our long lineage of "black and white" iris. White, only slightly toned lavender standards. Falls close to horizontal are of a velvety black with a tiny amethyst edging. The throat is white, striated with crimson surrounding dark orange beards. Quite different from 'Domino Noir'! 7 buds/stalk. (Cayeux seedling 06 117 A)

Another direct descendant of "Ravissant", full of freshness and possessing great qualities. Pure white standards with touch of lavender on their edges, wide white falls with a crisp amethyst border, 1.5 cm to 2 cm wide. Coral-coloured beards. Nicely shaped, plentiful flowers, gracefully and subtly ruffled. Like its parent, it has perfect branching and multiplies up very well.

Dark apricot standards and nearly horizontal reddish orange falls randomly veined with a creamy yellow. Tangerine beards. Although moderate in size, the flowers are most attractive.
