From Keppel Iris catalog, 2011: JEALOUS GUY ML 37" ((Puff the Magic x ((Enjoy the Party x Kathleen Kay Nelson) x Calling)) X Apricot Already.) Barry may have named this with me in mind, for I'm jealous it didn't show up in MY seedling patch! I've coveted his blue-blazed pink and orange seedling lines since first seeing them more than a decade ago. This gem varies from coffee tan to tannish orange dependent on the weather, with falls creamier and sporting a bright lavender blaze below red orange beards, fainter flush on standards. Heavy ruffling, good stalks and bud count, unique color. What's not to be jealous of? #084-3. $75.00.
Hybridizer's Comment : Such a delicious iris with extravagant colours and form. Standards are coffee tan with just the slightest blush of lavender at the midribs. Falls are coffee cream, lightening towards the centre and highlighted with a bright lavender blaze below the vibrant tangerine beards. Fluted, wide and ruffled with lovely show branching. It will set pods. One of our favourites.
