Beautiful iris of moderate vigour. Marvelously sculpted flowers are a smooth, deep carmine red. Lightly ruffled with bronze beards. There are many pink iris available and most hybdidizers 'dable in pink' at some stage. We are confident that this iris will emulate its performance in the home garden as one of the best available for garden perfomance because it is heaithy and vigorous.
Spikes carry only five buds but there are multiple spikes produced.
Tall and stately with good form and good substance. Outstanding blue frills blanket the beard of the same gentle blue. This 1997 Dykes Medal winner exhibits such striking, unusual color. The falls are a greenish tan, deeper at the hafts. Deep violet lines radiate from the beard and suffuse into the center.
