We speak of a perquisite as a perk, meaning a benefit; and this iris is definitely a perk for your garden with its warm colors and excellent growth and bloom. A “dark top,” the ruffled standards are rich chestnut brown at the tips, and show a violet infusion at the base. The falls are heavily ruffled and rimmed in smoky orange, with a lighter orange ground color. A large cream spot with a few longitudinal dark veins is centered under the vivid tangerine beards. Perfectly at home in it Border class. Sdlg. # 11-19B: (06-16 A: (04-41 B: (Courtesan sib x Cut Above) X 07-16 H: (Cut Above x Border Guard)). SKU: 17BB116.$25.00.
