RIO DE ORO

"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.

A two-tone iris of subtle shades: Greyish white standards with lavender hues, amber-toned styles and medium lavender falls. Beards are of a burnt orange. Exquisite shape. 7 to 8 buds/stalk on average.

Seedling brother of ‘Confiserie’, Attirance ’, Oh Susannah’. Full flowers of medium amethyst, the margin of the falls being slightly more unbroken. Lavender blue beards discreetly extended in the same lavender blue. Holds for a long time in a bouquet. Superb balanced stems. 8 to 9 buds. (Cayeux seedling 09 111 F).

Pure pink standards and pale pink falls with a wide pinkish purple border, streaked with pale pink. Coral red beards. Perfectly branched stems, like its parent "Chevalier de Malte". Excellent multiplier and unparalleled flowering: 9 buds per stem on average. A cheerful, lively mixture of colours.

What's new in "Cape Perpetua"? Not its colour: light and plain blue with white beards, but its shape: both standards and falls show lacy, frilly edges and this is unique in its category. A really charming blue iris!

Robust descendant of "Futuriste" and "World Premier". Very pale blue standards and strong indigo-blue falls, fairly discreet yellow beards. Enormous flowers enlivened by strong, ample ruffles. Flowers quite close to the main stem, a characteristic inherited from its parent, "World Premier".
