GRANDE COQUETTE

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.

Bright clear orange. Elegant flower lightened by tangerine beards. Dedicated to Monsieur Marcel Turbat who was an eminent member of the French Iris Society.

A wonderful bubbling exuberance is evoked by the wavy shape of the flowers. Rosy cream standards and cream falls edged with amethyst. The wide, tufted, coral red beards, are really astonishing. Low branching stems with an average of 8 buds. In short: very original.

Golden salmon pink standards and velvety purplish garnet falls with a narrow clearer rim. Thin and long tangerine beards. Large flowers. Named Marie-José Nat, after a famous French actress.

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).
