MARTILE ROWLAND

Perhaps the deepest golden iris. The colour is absolutely plain on the whole flower, which has silky falls. A real gleaming beauty!

It is a pleasure for us to reintroduce this historic variety registered by Ferdinand Cayeux in 1906. This is a disploïd plicata with a white ground and blue-violet border. It produces a lot of small-sized flowers and is very vigorous.

A good French-American cross: 'Irisades' x 'Calypso Beat'. Standards of a light butter-yellow, wide, nearly horizontal falls of a purple somewhere between mid-tones of aubergine and velvety claret-red, turning somewhat lighter towards the yellowy-orange beards. A clear contrast. Gorgeous ruffled edges and a strong stem.(brother to our 'Si Tendre' new variety)

We hesitated for a long time whether to introduce this iris, but lots of iris lovers urged us that we should... So here is an amoena with mid-grey rather than white standards. The golden yellow beards light up the grey of the nearly horizontal falls. Certainly an unusual colour, but original, and would have its place in many a garden. 5 to 6 buds.

This son of 'Above the Clouds' and 'Can't Touch This' boasts giant (16cm x 11 cm), amply ruffled flowers. White standards and ivory-white falls with a wide and sinuous light- to medium pure blue border. Strong substance.

Pale pink standards and pinkish white falls which are amply veined with magenta, yielding an intense pink effect. Beards are of a soft yellow. Graceful flowers.
