WABASH

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).

Gorgeous contrast between the clear blue-lavender standards and the deep and velvety blue-violet falls. Contrast intensified by the bright red-orange beards. 10 buds per stem.

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.

Irresistible two-tone red with beetroot red wavy standards and velvety, rich cherry black falls on which the bright orange-red beards make a slash of colour. Model 3-branched stems carry 9 to 11 buds. A great grower and bursting with health! A valuable step towards a black with bright red beards.

As MISS NOTREURE, this imposing amoena comes directly from HAUNTED HEART. Wide white standards and very large falls white washed azure-blue and discreetly veined blue-lavender. Discreet pale blue beards tipped golden yellow. Ruffled with grace and 8 buds on average.

Barium yellow, deeper on falls except around the orange beards. Nice shape and edges with serrated ruffles. Good grower and it often reflowers in September or October.
