Hybridizer's Comment: We think it is one of the loveliest iris we have raised. It's delicious! It is citrus yellow, the colour of lemon skins, with a small white area around the beards shading to soft blue just below the beards. Beards are vivid mustard. Flower form is exceptional as the photo shows. Ruffled, fluted and horizontally flaring. It has show stems and displays blooms beautifully. Plants are not large but give huge flower stems. Slight sweet perfume. Sister to 'Enter The Dragon' and 'Comes The Dawn'. An exciting cross producing such a variation. Fertile and a good parent. |
