Definitely fascinating! Cream white standards infused with plenty of lemon yellow, deep purple falls that turn to a sustained lavender under beards of golden yellow tipped white. A very pale 2mm lavender border completes this original complex pedigree combination. A really interesting one.

This is the result of the search for perfection in blue-red bearded irises. It is a pure light blue with orange-red beards. In addition to the purity of the colour, its growth habits, shape of the flowers and count of buds are excellent. Prizewinner at the American Convention and the Florence International Iris Competition in 1998.

Indeed, slightly mysterious: strongly ruffled standards, yellow to light brown, amply washed with light purplish violet; wide, lemony white falls with a soft yellow border and dandelion yellow beards. Stems from 'Crowned Heads', a Dykes medalist.

Belongs to the category of "miniature tall beardeds", a sort of bonsai but quite beautiful. Pure white standards and purple to black falls with a fine white border. The yellow beards are surround by purplish black striations. Most interesting!

A huge flower of impeccable shape, ruffled but not too much. The colour is a rich purple-violet shimmering like silk, even the beards are dark purple-blue.

Pale pink standards discretely edged with pale lavender, mid-violet falls with a central creamy-white line. Tangerine beards surrounded with white. "Garnement" is the brother of "Irisades" which was introduced in 2008 and has a similar very modern shape with firm, almost horizontal falls. Sturdy stems carrying an average of 8 buds.
