The huge rounded falls are methyl violet, blending deeper towards the center. There is a lighter area each side of the beard. Entire fall is bordered golden-buff. Beard is white with each hair tipped orange, deepening in throat. Styles are tan-buff ridged methyl. Should be a sure winner on the show bench. May require staking in windy areas.

"BANDOLIER is an unusual lilac and metal color. I don't care for it, but it is obviously a descendant of Mr. Plough's AMIGO'S GUITAR, etc." [Esmond Jones, “Tall Bearded Iris Abroad,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 206 (July 1972): 72.] |
