DAME BLANCHE

Interesting because it flowers twice a year ! Beige-caramel standards  and bright fuchsia falls with a dark red plum border . Dark burnt orange beards. Interesting to get new rebloomers. (Black 2013)

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.

"Tiger Honey" is an iris with "broken colours". Its butterscotch standards are randomly streaked in golden yellow. The flaring falls, laced and ruffled, are copiously striped in streaks and blotches of tan, white and mustard yellow.

Violet-purple, a bit darker on falls. White spray around the white beard tipped violet. It is a vigorous grower and it can rebloom at the beginning of autumn.

We are delighted to name this new unusual bi-colour "Gérard Brière" after the founder of the iris garden Brocéliande in Brittany. Amber-yellow standards, tinted brown at their edge, and blue-violet falls with a large white centre and bright yellow long beards. Multiplies up well, unusual colour.

This new and luscious combination carries numerous elegantly ruffled flowers (11 on average) which feature medium-sized standards. The nearly horizontals falls of amaranth, with borders which turn to a light pink copper tone, are nicely echoed by bronze-coloured beards. We are pleased to have named this exquisite variety in memory of Madame Tardivier, former director of the Jardins des Tuileries at the Louvre.
