CAPE PERPETUA

Pastel tones inherited from its parent, 'Wishful Thinking': soft Wysteria blue standards, darker towards the heart. White falls with hues of pinkish lavender. Pinkish-orange beards. A vigorous plant with a noticeable sweet fragrance.

One of the most innovative American introductions since 2000! White ruffled standards and falls with a white center and a very broad navy blue border (at least 3 cm) which gently washes the edges of the white central spot. Yellow beards. Most interesting for iris breeders.

No doubt the best bluish purple Plicata on a white background. Both standards and falls are neatly bordered. Beards are a light lavender.  A very strong plant yielding up to 4 stalks per rhizome, each carrying 9 buds. Perfect shape.

Lily white standards and wide and pure light to medium blue falls, slightly paler on the edges. Discrete white beards. Strong, wind-resistant shafts. A robust plant with an average of 6 to 8 large flowers (16cm x 11cm).

A very attractive solid light to medium blue with bright tangerine beards. This iris is a descendant of "Princesse Caroline de Monaco" and "Eau Vive", both blue with tangerine coloured beards. Medium sized flowers with a lovely shape. We feel that the pureness of tone compensates for the relatively small number of buds (6-7 on average).

Pure white falls with a strong infusion of golden yellow in their center. Creamy white falls with deep mauve veins and also washed mid-mauve towards their edges. Bright golden yellow beards in harmony with the golden touch of the standards.
