GUATEMALA

Quite an elegant son of "Crowned Heads". Deep blue-violet standards with a large clear blue border, pure white falls tinted blue-violet near the creamy white beards. Eight big, heavily ruffled and magnificent flowers per stem.

Whilst always seeking to be original, one could almost forget these subtle yet useful colours. Deliciously lavender pink with a very thin and discrete lavender beard. Quality branching with 8 buds on average, very prolific.

This son of our famous iris "Noctambule" has inherited its height and its elegance. Slightly open, pure white standards and nearly horizontal, rich mid to navy blue falls. Egg-yolk yellow beards on a white background bring luminosity to the heart of the flower. Sharp, pure colour contrast.

Creamy white standards infused with yellow, falls with a soft yellow centre and wide amethyst border diffusing towards the centre. Orange yellow beards. Large, wavy flowers, very well branched stems and 8 to 9 buds on average. (Cayeux 10 440A seedling).

Sumptuous new variety with sky blue standards and satiny dark violet falls of as surprising luminosity. The falls are paler towards the dark rusty orange beards, shouldered with amaranth. Numerous ruffled flowers, low-branched stems, excellent foliage and long flowering-in short: a nearly perfect iris that is one of our favourites.

Perfectly plain raspberry or rosy mulberry, beards the same. Excellent new colour and interesting variety for hybridizers who would like to create a true red iris. RHS Award of Garden Merit 2006.
