LIGNE BLEUE

Son of ‘Clownerie’ with light caramel standards and large round falls, creamy yellow, edged and dotted with Burgundy red. Bronze beards. Good branching, like his seedling brother ‘Reflets du Sol’, 8 to 9 buds per stem. (Cayeux 10 98 B seedling).

The truly brilliant offspring of 'Terre de Savane' with golden yellow standards and undulated equally golden yellow falls which turn to caramel along the edges. The beards are orange. Perfect stems with an average of 10 buds.

Though not new at all, ‘Sapphire Hills’ is still for us one of the best median and true blue. Mid-blue with discreet white-lemon beards. Well-branched and good vigour.

One of the most innovative American introductions since 2000! White ruffled standards and falls with a white center and a very broad navy blue border (at least 3 cm) which gently washes the edges of the white central spot. Yellow beards. Most interesting for iris breeders.

Golden yellow standards slightly coppered. Bright fuchsia falls edged copper-brown. Long coppered yellow beards. 8 to 9 buds per stalk.

Indeed, slightly mysterious: strongly ruffled standards, yellow to light brown, amply washed with light purplish violet; wide, lemony white falls with a soft yellow border and dandelion yellow beards. Stems from 'Crowned Heads', a Dykes medalist.
