ROBE DU SOIR

A spicy warm variety: pure bright medium-yellow standards, falls between red and black with a yellow centre that spreads out in fine yellow streaks. The yellow-orange beards quite often end in a little dark red spatula, which gives an extra original note to this "spicy" flower. Winner of the "Public Prize" at Franciris in 2011

Wonderful contrast between the pure white standards and the velvety, very dark violet falls, nearly black when the flower first opens. Deep egg yolk yellow beards light up the whole. Moderately sized flowers with ruffled edges, a well-proportioned plant. We are very happy to call this iris after the famous Gien pottery in our neighbouring town.

Another direct descendant of 'Ciel Gris sur Poilly'. Cream white standards turning yellow at the base, cream toned falls with abundant and marked deep purple striations. The beards are yellow turning to orange and are extended with short wide spurs. 7 to 8 buds on average. A novelty!
