COUNTRY DAWN

Slender and well branched stalks carrying graceful, light aniline violet flowers. Standards are lighter and more pink. Golden yellow styles and beards. A decorative and rather long flowering variety.

Seedling brother of ‘Confiserie’, Attirance ’, Oh Susannah’. Full flowers of medium amethyst, the margin of the falls being slightly more unbroken. Lavender blue beards discreetly extended in the same lavender blue. Holds for a long time in a bouquet. Superb balanced stems. 8 to 9 buds. (Cayeux seedling 09 111 F).

Sumptuous new variety with sky blue standards and satiny dark violet falls of as surprising luminosity. The falls are paler towards the dark rusty orange beards, shouldered with amaranth. Numerous ruffled flowers, low-branched stems, excellent foliage and long flowering-in short: a nearly perfect iris that is one of our favourites.

A most unusual two-toned iris ! Magenta standards infused with purple toward the centre. Ochre red falls, paler toward the bright yellow beards. Flowers of gorgeous shape (7-10) standing on very tall stalks.

Magnificent very pure sky blue, with small pale yellow beards towards the centre becoming white at their ends. Flowers close to the stem but well spaced and moderately ruffled. Very upright stalks and long-lasting flowers (9 – 10 buds on average). A good grower.
