PEACE PRAYER

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.

A very big bicolour with butter-yellow standards and very dark violet-purple falls, with a big cream "throat" around the yellow-orange beard. Despite the moderate number of 6 buds, the arresting contrast offered by "Funambule" makes it an excellent new variety.

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.

BRIN DE FOLIE Cream standards infused with acid yellow, very pale lavender falls with a canary yellow heart, crossed by fine purple streaks. Orange beards in the middle then prolonged with a yellow spur. Very nice shape, wavy, 7 buds. (Cayeux seedling 09 187)

Very charming purplish pink with wide rounded falls decorated with fat tangerine beards. A sensual colour agreeably complemented by the entire flower sporting a lacy edging. Bred from the excellent pink "Happenstance", it has kept the same stalks qualities and a rapid growth.

This is the very own sibling of our iris 'Pesselières', introduced in 2016, and like its brother, hued in mystery. It boasts standards of a very light blue and velvety horizontal dark-violet falls with a fine light crimson border (2 mm). Thick copper orange beards. The stems are well balanced with low ramification.
