From Blue J Iris online catalog, 2017: MARDI GRAS LANTERNS - Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2010, TB, 29-30”, M. This iris has Mardi Gras colors glowing like a lighted lantern. The outsides of the standards are mostly red-purple, but the insides have red-purple plicata marks against orange-yellow ground. Styles are yellow-orange & red-purple. Slightly narrow falls are lit with orange-yellow ground behind red-purple plicata markings & a strong stripe down the center. The beards are bright orange, as is the wash on the hafts around them. 7-8 buds form on OK branching. The pronounced sweet scent is especially pleasing. (Formerly seedling Jeda 4-8J19) Tiger Honey x King Tush.
