PETIT CAPRICE

Imposing and elegant pure white widely ruffled. Discreet ivory beards. Excellent stems with often 4 flowers blooming at the same time. 4th prize at the international competition of Florence in 1997.

Bred from "Special Feature", it has inherited its spur-like beards, these ones being pale lavender, the rest of the flower being ice-white. Very strong, well-bodied flowers, with nearly horizontal falls. A classic beauty, useful in the garden for its striking looks and late flowering.

Light brown standards and copper-yellow falls with orange-coloured beards. Warm flowers, medium-sized but in proportion to the leaves, semi-horizontal falls with delicately crimped edges.

White standards with blue pigmentation on the edges, broad white falls a clear blue violet border and orange-yellow beards. First-class shape, substance and shank.

Blue-white standards with a narrow lime-yellow border. Clear red-brown falls turning to copper-yellow below the burnt orange beards, and narrow pale lavender rim. Multi-coloured like the north west Argentina mountains. Quite short stems and 7 to 8 buds on average.

Radiant and sparkling, as was Dominique herself... the colours of this iris have an unforgettable "joie de vivre": pure bright yellow standards, white falls with a wide yellow border creeping towards the centre. Golden yellow beards. Quite rounded flowers with crimped edges like its parent "Just Before Dawn". Quite a short stem but well-branched.
