Hybridizer's Comment: Standards are mushroom pink and falls are deep lavender to lavender violet with rosier violet hafts. Beards are lightly burnt tangerine giving a soft bronze effect. Branching is good giving show stems and flowers have lovely form. For those who like reblooming Iris, this usually reblooms in March. Its pod parent 'Fashionista' gives it this trait. Fertile.
