Pale pink standards discretely edged with pale lavender, mid-violet falls with a central creamy-white line. Tangerine beards surrounded with white. "Garnement" is the brother of "Irisades" which was introduced in 2008 and has a similar very modern shape with firm, almost horizontal falls. Sturdy stems carrying an average of 8 buds.

This new and luscious combination carries numerous elegantly ruffled flowers (11 on average) which feature medium-sized standards. The nearly horizontals falls of amaranth, with borders which turn to a light pink copper tone, are nicely echoed by bronze-coloured beards. We are pleased to have named this exquisite variety in memory of Madame Tardivier, former director of the Jardins des Tuileries at the Louvre.

New bicolour that combines many qualities: charm, perfect shape, long flowering, 9 to 12 buds, great vigour. Pinkish apricot standards, soft rosy lavender falls much paler around the tangerine beard. Quite rightly it won first prize at the Florence iris competition in 1996.

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.

Bright and attractive combination: pure yellow standards on light purple falls tinted anilin and decorated with a narrow bronze rim. Orange-yellow beards edged with bronze. Medium-sized flowers and good count of buds.

A rare bicolor featuring pale lavender-blue standards with falls of yellow with a hint of ochre or golden yellow and thin but neat white ruffles. The orangey-yellow beards are very subtle, almost going un-noticed. The combination creates a really interesting contrast for this prolific specimen. You can expect an average of 8 buds per stem.
