Color Class--Amoenas

Simply defined an amoena is a flower with white standards and colored falls. It takes its name from Iris amoena which was at first believed to be a species but later was thought to be an ancient cross involving Iris pallida and possibly Iris variegata. Because it was one of the first larger bearded irises to have this color combination it provided the name for this color class.
