From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2008: NEW FACE (Black 08) TB Early-Midseason 36” (91 cm). Yes, it's a New Face in town. So far, an iris with blue standards and pink falls has been very illusive. New Face comes close enough to that goal to finally celebrate. Centers of standards are blue-orchid blending to light slate-violet in upper 1/3. Unique contrasting styles are mauve pink. Ruffled falls are pale rose-pink blending darker toward margins and over hafts. Paler edges help add a finishing touch. Pale blue-violet beards echo the standards. Three well spaced branches plus terminal create 7-9 buds. Growth is strong and foliage clean. Come close to this 'New Face' & you'll smell the strong grape fragrance. A must have for anyone breeding blue and pink or blue and yellow reverse bicolors. Here's a face worth giving a second look. Sdlg L95A: Mountain View sib X Champagne Frost. $50.00.
