JUST BEFORE DAWN

Brother from the same sowing as ‘Masque Noir ’with slightly smoky yellow standards, and falls have a white ground which is edged, as well as almost entirely dusted with purple-violet; standards are thin at the base allowing the long orange beards to show. Very interesting and new! (Cayeux seedling 12 319 A).

Creamy white standards infused with yellow, falls with a soft yellow centre and wide amethyst border diffusing towards the centre. Orange yellow beards. Large, wavy flowers, very well branched stems and 8 to 9 buds on average. (Cayeux 10 440A seedling).

Excellent variety  with buff standards infused violet-lavender on their midribs and velvety mahogany-red falls. Golden yellow beards. Excellent stems, increases very fast.

We all need something sweet, and this is it! Petals pinkish white, sepals white with a very light yellow border and long white barbs with vermilion points. Very branchy, low-branched stems with an average of 10 buds for long flowering.

We like "Splashacata" for its strong personality. It shows pale blue-lavender standards and white falls heavily peppered with rich purple-violet dots and speckles. White beards tipped yellow. Vigorous novelty that produces regularly 8 to 10 ruffled flowers per stalk.

Something new on Planet Iris! White standards with a hint of cream tone. Falls lie semi-horizontally with a white heart infused with olive-yellows framing the beard, then turning to a sustained amethyst tone on the edges. Bright egg-yellow beard with a white tip. Stems with well-balanced buds. (6 to 8 on average).
