SURFACE IRRISÉE

Standards dark lavender; falls same, white blaze spot around beard; beards white. Parentage unknown.

Standards with a white background veined and peppered with raspberry-pink. Falls, equally white, boast a thin, intense raspberry-red border in the Plicata style. Beards are bronze yellow. Strong tendency to rebloom in our climates.

Perfection in lavender-white tones. Silverado's broad, well sculpted flowers are harmoniously ruffled and the tall sturdy stems display 8 to 9 buds.

Light blue standards, deeper in center ; near-white falls gentian-blue wash on midline . Yellow orange beards, pale violet at base, ending with a short bluebird blue horn. Ruffled and very vigorous.

Radiant and sparkling, as was Dominique herself... the colours of this iris have an unforgettable "joie de vivre": pure bright yellow standards, white falls with a wide yellow border creeping towards the centre. Golden yellow beards. Quite rounded flowers with crimped edges like its parent "Just Before Dawn". Quite a short stem but well-branched.

A descendant of 2 remarkable varieties: 'Blue Temptation' and 'Winterfest'. Very pale lavender blue standards and white falls. Discreet white beards tipped yellow and surrounded by light ochre yellow markings. Perfectly shaped flowers with regular waves. This iris was rightly selected for the magic gardens of Chateau de Chaumont sur Loire by their Director.
