RIO DE ORO

Cream standards infused butter yellow . Almost horizontal falls, fuchsia turning to mid blue-violet under the yellow-orange beards and delicate light brown rim. Flowers have laced edges and plenty of small ruffles.

Wonderful contrast between the pure white standards and the velvety, very dark violet falls, nearly black when the flower first opens. Deep egg yolk yellow beards light up the whole. Moderately sized flowers with ruffled edges, a well-proportioned plant. We are very happy to call this iris after the famous Gien pottery in our neighbouring town.

Belle Moisson's sibling with standards of pale yellow that deepens near the edges. The falls are yellow with red-brown striations near the golden beards and also peppered with red speckles towards the bottom. Attractive, beautifully branched with a long flowering period.

White standards with a light gold border, white falls with a wide purple rim turning to deep red wine on edges. Yellow-Orange beards. Very good stalks, 8 to 9 buds.

With its late flowering, this variety brings brightness and light into the garden. Its semi-horizontal standards and falls of bright yellow have small ruffles and the slightly singed orange beards tail off into a small spur. The blooms are of average size on tall and well branched stems (Average of 10 buds).

New, beautifully shaped yellow! Golden yellow, slightly amber standards and very wide yellow falls with a small white area under the orange red beards. Compact, very well-balanced flowers, good branching, vigorous. Certainly one the best yellows with a red beard.
