Attendees of the Tall Bearded Iris Societies' spring tour voted it the top position for an unintroduced variety. Pale yellow beards add a touch of class. Domed standards and gently arched falls provide classic form. All petals are ruffled and lavishly laced, but still open easily. Strong stalks with 3 branches have 6 to 7 buds.
Growth is strong and foliage is healthy blue green.
What can we say, you shouldn't be without this fabulous creation. Hook is from a cross that Tom made while still in Canada. It reflects his interest in space age iris and winter hardy hybrids. Hook is a delightful combination of the two. Quite large and ruffled flowers have standards that are dark plum.
