COPPELIA

Medium to deep purple-mauve standards, aubergine, velvety-textured falls with a light purple border (5 to 7 mm wide). Bronze-yellow beards. An average of 7 buds per stem. (Cayeux seedling 10 329 C).

Perhaps the deepest golden iris. The colour is absolutely plain on the whole flower, which has silky falls. A real gleaming beauty!

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)

White standards infused with golden yellow at the base, lemon yellow falls with a white area below the bright lemon yellow beard. Superb stems with 3 "branches" carrying 11 to 13 buds on average. Healthy foliage and very prolific. Ideal plant for the garden, lovely soft colour.

Definitely fascinating! Cream white standards infused with plenty of lemon yellow, deep purple falls that turn to a sustained lavender under beards of golden yellow tipped white. A very pale 2mm lavender border completes this original complex pedigree combination. A really interesting one.

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).
