LENTEN PRAYER

Superb apricot, slightly rosy at the centre of the standards and marginally paler under the beards. Strong flowers have very ruffled edges and the beards are between tangerine and red. Exemplary branching with an average of 9 to 10 buds.

The sturdy moderately ruffled flowers are a charming, totally plain, light blue-violet. Numerous flowers produced on perfect stems (up to 10 buds on each). Light blue-violet beards tipped yellow. Exceptionally vigorous, it rapidly forms big clumps.

Very amazing and very attractive at the same time! Lavender standards infused with green-yellow at their base and near-horizontal chartreuse-yellow falls infused with lavender in the centre. Cream beards. Frilly flowers. (Meek 2004)

Named after the beautiful Ile de Ré off the Brittany coast, it displays a combination of delicate seaside colours: the bluish-white on opening becomes pure white in full bloom. Pale yellow beards tipped with white. Numerous remarkably shaped ruffled flowers and a strong multiplier.

Magical’ can be considered as the point of culmination in the bubble-ruffled line of Joe Ghio. The domed standards are light peachy pink, and the flaring falls are creamy peach. Coral beards peachy pink shouldered. Super show branching with at least 8 buds, flowers remain fresh for 4 days. Exuberant shape, charming colour, in short, the perfect iris.

Standards and styles are white with a thin yellow border. Falls of a white background are striated and peppered with wine-red, this colour densifying toward the edges. Falls are also bordered in golden yellow. Well-branched stalks carrying 7 to 8 buds on average. (Johnson 2011)
