Variation in the cross of Spring Satin and Goldkist was everything I had expected. Some offspring had wide gold bands around white standards and some had bright orange beards. Spring Kiss isn't the most exciting of the seedlings, but it is the most finished. Full formed and ruffled flowers are clear medium violet. As they age, the center of the falls become pearl white, leaving darker violet bands.
Hafts are brassy gold.
As Spring whispered past, she placed a kiss upon each falls in the form of bright yellow gold beards. Exceptionally strong growth and vigor produce elegant show stalks with 4 branches and 9-12 buds. The changeable nature of the coloring of this iris makes it a bit difficult to describe. Stylearms are peachy apricot. Rosy peach hafts and edge blend into a tannish butter center.
