COUNTRY DAWN

Pure sunshine yellow, with a discreet paler area under the bright yellow beard. Semi-horizontal falls, very wavy flowers with finely crimped edges. Particularly useful in that it flowers late.

What's new in "Cape Perpetua"? Not its colour: light and plain blue with white beards, but its shape: both standards and falls show lacy, frilly edges and this is unique in its category. A really charming blue iris!

Standards have an orange background with hints of caramel; yellowish orange falls with wide brownish red striping, intensified around the orange beards. A very colourful and brilliant flower.

Years of research were needed to obtain this rare jewel which offers a striking and clear contrast: practically pure white standards with an almost imperceptible violet border and jet-black falls with golden yellow beards. These wide flowers are ruffled on the edges and stand on a well branched stalk. Previewed at the 2012 edition of the Chelsea Flower Show, they were a huge success with the new varieties enthusiasts.

Very wavy, an excellent shape, one of the last tall iris to flower. Between bold rosy lavender and perfectly plain mid-mauve – in all, a well-structured variety which is little known. A real ornamental addition to any garden.

One of our favourites among our 25 new varieties for 2021! Absolutely pure white standards and falls with a pure white background also bordered in a regular way in deep indigo blue over nearly 2 cm in width. Bright yellow beards. Sculptural in shape and as majestic as the eponymous temple. (Cayeux Seedling 12 238 C).
