BIENTOT L' ETE

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).

Bred from our long lineage of "black and white" iris. White, only slightly toned lavender standards. Falls close to horizontal are of a velvety black with a tiny amethyst edging. The throat is white, striated with crimson surrounding dark orange beards. Quite different from 'Domino Noir'! 7 buds/stalk. (Cayeux seedling 06 117 A)

Horizontal coppery amber standards of velvet, somewhere between solid crimson-violet and aubergine tones. The flowers stand firmly, boasting their very ruffled edges and burned orange toned beards.

Blue-white standards with a narrow lime-yellow border. Clear red-brown falls turning to copper-yellow below the burnt orange beards, and narrow pale lavender rim. Multi-coloured like the north west Argentina mountains. Quite short stems and 7 to 8 buds on average.

A very appealing Amoena with pure white standards infused with pale apricot as the buds open, and copper-apricot falls. Bright tangerine beards. The falls are vigorous, nearly horizontal and closely ruffled at the edges. Well-balanced strong stems.

Two tones of pink: purplish pink standards and peach pink falls, paler in centre, with deep red-orange beards. Large flowers with gentle ruffles, good growth.
