LOCAL COLOR

Something delicate: as much for the modest size of its flowers as for its pastel colouring. Soft pink standards and white falls with a fine light violet border, plicata-style. Long thick, very visible coral beards. Numerous flowers (average of 10), branching out in candelabra-style.

Faintly bluish, white standards, light to mid lilac falls, paler towards their edges. Strongly ruffled and delicately crimped flower. Golden yellow beards, pale violet at the tips. A classic but nonetheless attractive colour. Really late flowering.

Certainly not a champion for number of buds: on average 5 to 6 . However this son of 'Macaron' and 'Ciel Gris sur Poilly' is one of the most surprising. Soft yellow standards and cream toned falls, peppered and edged in purplish red! Yellow beards. Lovely shape. (Cayeux seedling 07 135 A)

"Tiger Honey" is an iris with "broken colours". Its butterscotch standards are randomly streaked in golden yellow. The flaring falls, laced and ruffled, are copiously striped in streaks and blotches of tan, white and mustard yellow.

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)

Light and glistening havana brown infused golden yellow beside gold beards. Dykes French Medal in 1931.
