INTERMEDIATE BEARDED
Bonus information at bottom of page
 | | | Black 06; Caramel standards. Chestnut-red falls with big yellow plicata spot. Bright, bold color. |
|
 | | | Black 07; A cold, icy wind moves rapidly out of the Canadian plains and brings with it some snow, maybe a lot of snow and you've got an ALBERTA CLIPPER. This IB derived from the aphylla species and mixed chromosome breeding is a delight in every way. Well formed and ruffled icy blue-white flowers are carried on statuesque stalks with 3 branches and 8-11 buds. Slightly darker blue sanding and veining over the hafts hints at its plicata heritage. ALBERTA CLIPPER creates a spectacular display in an established clump as well as fantastic stalks for a show. It is breeding a wide range of BBs and IBs. |
|
 | | | Black 06; Bright yellow to yellow-gold with BIG VIVID orange beards. Fertile. |
|
 | | | Black 06; Clear snow white. Muted tangerine beards. Fertile and produces lovely, well-branched BBs & IBs. SHOW STALKS! |
|
 | | | Black '09; Sculpted icy white flowers are tinted glacial blue. Bold mid blue beards make sure it won’t get lost in the landscape. Healthy disease resistant clumps produce stalks with 2 branches and 6-7 buds. |
|
| | | Keppel 06; Mauve standards. Dark wine falls. Deep gold beards. |
|
 | | | Black 06; Lilac to buff standards. Peach falls heavily washed mauve-wine. Orange beards.
Very colorful. |
|
 | | | M.Smith 07; Wine standards and darker plicata band on cream falls. |
|
| | | Craig 08; Mid apricot with violet fall flash below dark reddish beards. |
|
 | | | Black 07; CASHMERE ROSE has such delightfully colorful flowers. Peachy apricot standards are completely washed rosy mauve except narrow bands of peachy apricot around margins. Pale peach falls have wide washed plicata bands of rose blending upward to rosy lilac and darker plicata stripes down the centers. Hafts have heavy, dark oxblood plicata wash turning to veins alongside vivid orange beards. Strong growth and many stalks make it a great garden iris that attracts much attention. |
|
 | | | Black '09; Cat In The Hat is a fanciful creation that is sure to win your heart. Classically formed, heavily ruffled flowers have mid raspberry rose standards with overall network of fine dark violet blue veins. Cream falls have super wide raspberry rose plicata bands, darker hafts and lines and dotting over centers with an accent stripe at ends of orange beards. Perfect show stalks have 2 branches + spur and 7-9 buds. Strong, healthy plants insure superior performance. |
|
| | | M.Smith 06; Dark red-black bitone. Orange beards. |
|
 | | | Black '09; Ruffled, smoky orchid standards blend upward to wide metallic tan bands. Light peach hafts are lined and dotted light brown. Fall centers are washed and marbled rose magenta blending to smoky rose and edged tan. Peach styles and orange beards add a bold Creative Accent. Stalks have 2 branches + spur and 6-8 buds. |
|
| | | Tasco 07; Dark red black bitone. |
|
 | | | Black '09; Species X - most closely resembles a very short IB - Date With Destiny, along with its sib Alberta Clipper, has the potential to add an almost unimagineable dimension to the SDB class and to a lesser degree the IB class. Traditional SDBs usually have one branch and 2-3 buds. On occasion one will have 2 branches and 4-6 buds. The problem has been that the later types tend to open multiple blooms on branching that is too close to display them without becoming a bunchy mess. In this respect, Date With Destiny overcomes this problem. Amazingly, the foliage remains short so as not to interfere with the flowers and well-spaced branching provides plenty of space for them to open properly without bunching. Flowers also remain proportionately small. The other major effect is pushing SDB bloom time well into TB season. I say FABULOUS! Classically formed flowers have mid violet blue standards and blended band on darker red violet falls. This represents an amazing pool of genetic material. |
|
 | | | Black 08; The color of the Dazzling white standards and styles is repeated as precise narrow bands around vibrant mid purple-blue falls. Bright orange beards arise from a cluster of short white darts surrounding them. Dazzling creates a bright splash of color in your garden. |
|
| | | M.Smith 04; Red-black with contrasting red beards. |
|
| | | Aitken 04; Bright orange with deeper orange beards. |
|
 | | | Black 06; Ruffled & lightly laced medium violet-blue. Fiery orange beards. |
|
 | | | Black 07; Deep from the heart of the furnace emerges this glowing creation. Medium beetroot standards have a network of darker veins. Styles are rosy beetroot. Dark, velvety wine-red falls lighten toward edges and are set off with white darts at the ends of bright orange beards. Wide, classically formed flowers are ruffled and lightly laced. Growth is strong and it produces many stalks per clump. |
|
 | | | Black 08; The sun’s bright and the day cheery; it’s time for a Frisky Frolic. Generously ruffled, petite flowers are pinkish mauve. Horizontally flared falls are sanded overall red-purple and standards have a fine network of darker texture veins and muted buff bands. Styles are coral-peach. Bright red-orange beards add to the fun. |
|
 | | | Black 07; Here's another in the series of very fertile, aphylla derived IBs. This one has exceptional potential to give exciting colors and patterns in IB, BB, and TB classes. Stalks have three branches and 8-10 buds. Standards are medium orchid pink blending paler toward margins and rimmed in gilt tan-gold. Styles are an unusual apricot peach adding a nice contrast to the more pastel flowers. Falls are medium orchid blending much paler toward margins and then edged in gilt tan-gold. Darker plum texture veins fan out over the falls. Hafts are mottled and washed darker orchid showing the plicata heritage. Makes a lovely, clean clump. |
|
 | | | Black '09; It is pretty heady stuff, Intoxicating is very close to perfection - tight, exquisitely ruffled, classically formed flowers, show stalks with 9-10 buds, strong healthy growth and superb proportion. Standard centers are cream dotted and lined dark rose magenta and surrounded with wide rose magenta plic bands that are finely veined darker. Pale yellow falls have half inch dark rose magenta plicata bands, darker hafts and dart at end of orange beards. |
|

A clump of Man’s Best Friend is filled with flowers. Because of spacing and bloom sequence, it never appears crowded. Light slate violet standards have brassy gold midribs and texture veins shot upward. Strongly flared falls are rich medium red-brown with darker texture veins and are narrowly banded slate violet. Short butter rays surround bright yellow beards that terminate in white darts. It has great eye-appeal and is a must have.

| | | Keppel 09; Tan apricot with hafts peppered raisin. Orange beards. Nicely branched stalks. |

Falls are greenish white with greenish texture veins and 3/8 inch wide pastel violet blue plicata bands. It is fertile and a lovely parent. |
|
 | | | Black '09; Horizontally flared cold white falls have sparse violet blue plicata rims and darker hafts and thin line descending from beards. Presto Change-o and you have white standards completely sanded, dotted and stitiched dark violet blue and darker midribs. Alluring styles are heavily saturated, dark, inky violet blue. Refined stalks have 2 branches and 4-5 buds. Bold, clean and impressive. |

|
 | | | Black 07; Everything is looking very rosy for this romantic interlude. Perfectly formed flowers have creamy butter ground with standards completely washed mauve-rose and webbed with fine darker veins around the outer two-thirds. Falls have wide mauve-rose washed plicata bands becoming dots toward the interior. There is also a speckled line down the center of the falls. Bright orange beards over a yellow base make a cheerful complement. All petals are adorned with very controlled ruffles. |
|
 | | | Keppel 08; Light lemon and peach glaciata. |

|
 | | | Black '09; What a breathtaking sight a clump of Star in the Night makes! Darkness descends as dark blue purple standards turn to inky blue black falls. White beards laid over violet bases shine brightly. Flowers are gently ruffled so as not to diminish the simple beauty of Star in the Night. Muted white rays amplify that brightness. Clean, healthy plants support bountiful stalks with 2 branches and 6-7 buds. Spectacular garden show. |
|
 | | | Black 06; Creamy peach standards veined darker orange. Buff-peach falls. Dark orange beards. Fertile. |
|
 | | | Black '09; Thunderclouds roll in and the sky becomes Threatening. Slate violet blue standards are brushed gray on top. Styles are clearer mid blue. Slate violet blue falls have subtle, hazy gray margins and ominous charcoal brown hafts. Amazing dark indigo beards end in dark violet flashes. Show stalks with 7-8 buds and super healthy plants are its heritage passed on by its parent Mythology. |
|
 | | | Black 08; Twilight is a special time when colors glow and sparkle with a quality unobtainable during the harsh light of day. Twilight Delight is especially beautiful in the evening light. Ruffled standards as well as styles are pastel blue-lavender. Rosy lilac falls blend paler to narrow, pastel blue-lavender bands. Yellow to white beards are seated in a matrix of white rays and end in short white darts. Twilight Delight is a lovely foil for the stronger colors in your garden. |
