TALL BEARDED

Bonus information at bottom of page

LA SCALA$SOLD OUT
Keppel 08; Violet orchid standards. Pale pink falls. Nice show stalks and plenty of buds.



LACED CREDENTIALS$10.00
T.Johnson 07; LACED CREDENTIALS is "the one" so many asked about and admired during the AIS convention - "the one with the beard". The catalog shot doesn't begin to do it justice. It is rather difficult to photograph. Ruffled and laced flowers are medium violet-blue with much paler pearl-violet centers around wide, fat, heavily saturated mustard gold beards. One hardly notices the rest of the flower with such imposing beards. Super branching and growth plus a lovely sweet fragrance make this a standout.



LATTE$24.00
Ghio 09; Burnished gold standards etched with fine chestnut veins. Black maroon falls.



LECTURE$12.00
T.Johnson 07; Very pretty, moderately ruffled flowers have medium violet-blue standards that blend paler toward edges. Plush, dark violet-blue falls have narrow pale violet rims. The entire haft is plum with muted white mottled rays around vivid, dark tangerine-orange beards. From its parent, Paul Black, it receives a strong, spicy fragrance. Superb show stalks. Terrific breeder for darks with orange beards.



LEGACY OF LOVE$SOLD OUT
Nicodemus 07; Heavily laced, well-formed silvery violet. Strong, well branched stalks.



LEGERDEMAIN$SOLD OUT
Keppel 08; Pale blue standards. Light blue to tan violet blended falls. Nice branching and buds.



LEMON CLOUD$16.00
L.Painter 08; White standards. Bright, clear yellow falls with thin white rim. Great impact.



LET'S BE BRAZEN    (f)$7.00
Blyth 05; Dark rose-wine standards & blended margins on darker burgundy falls. Burnt orange beards. Fantastic showy color. Should be a terrific parent.



LET'S ROMP    (f)$16.00
Blyth 06; Ecru cream standards infused violet. Lavender falls with dark purple blended patche. Awesome color!



LIBERAL BIAS$SOLD OUT
Ernst 05; White with falls sanded and lined highly contrasted dark black-wine. Thin white rims around falls. Entrancing color and pattern.



LIBERTY CLASSIC$16.00
L.Painter 08; White with blue violet plicata bands, wider in standards, narrower in falls.



LIKE A RAINBOW$22.00
Lauer 09; Light peach standards. Fuchsia falls with yellow hafts. Purple line down fall.



LIPSTICK KISS$SOLD OUT
Black 09; Strongly flared, heavily ruffled and laced pure white with red orange beards. Exquiste form. Superb show stalks.



LIVING EASY$20.00
T.Johnson 2008; Living Easy is one of the best performing garden irises we grow. Vigorous, healthy plants grow into big clumps filled with classically formed flowers borne on strong show stalks. Ruffled icy white standards are flushed violet up midribs. Wide lilac falls are tinted paler blue around shocking orange beards and narrowly rimmed blue. Excellent, disease resistant foliage.



LIVING ON THE EDGE$22.00
Lauer 09; Yellow bitone with large beetroot purple fall bands and thin yellow rim.



LOOKING BEAUTIFUL    (f)$SOLD OUT
Blyth 05; Apricot buff standards. Falls creamy coffee buff with faint blue blaze below tangerine beards. Sibling to Decadence.



LOOKY LOO$8.00
Ernst 05; White with wild wine sprayed plicata pattern over lower 2/3 of falls then banded pale yellow.



LOOPTY LOO$20.00
Black 08; Ruffled and lightly laced standards are medium lilac with wide, looping bands of pale slate blue feathered into the lilac. Ruffled and lightly laced falls are medium lilac-violet with darker blue-violet texture veins and slightly bluer flash around violet-blue beards. Two evenly spaced branches and spur plus terminal produce 7-8 buds. Loopty Loo is an exciting step in hybridizing a pink iris with blue bands and blue beards. Perhaps a cross of Loopty Loo and Crash Course is in order.



LOST IN LOVE$30.00
T.Johnson '09; It is easy to become Lost in Love with this exquisite vision of loveliness which appears to have been crafted from fine marble. Soft white standards are blushed palest pink over centers and veined slightly darker. Extravagantly ruffled and laced falls are palest soft pink white with greenish texture veins giving a serene ambiance. A little fire is added by white beards brushed red. Strong stalks have 2 branches and usually only 6 buds but who’s counting when each flower is a priceless work of art. You can choose it as a bonus but act fast. We’ll undoubtedly run out of it before season’s end.



LOVE ME TRUE$22.00
T.Johnson 08; It will be true love once you’ve seen this fantasy of ruffles and lace. The falls of these clear pink blooms become paler around coral pink beards and are accented with darker texture veins. Strong growth produces show stalks with 7 buds.



LOVE TO PARTY    (f)$40.00
Blyth 08; Honey tan standards. Pink rose to soft lavender blend falls. Tangerine beards.



LOVELY SENORITA$7.00
Schreiner 02; Apricot orange standards. Burnt orange falls with root beer beards. Very pleasing rich, earthy color. Strong growth and excellent stalks.



LUSCIOUS LACE$SOLD OUT
Black 08; Here’s an absolutely scrumptious confection all done up in Luscious Lace. Standards are medium coral-pink blending lighter until becoming coral pink veins shot into a heavily laced ivory band. Laced styles are coral-peach. Wide, ruffled and laced falls are ivory completely washed medium coral-pink with darker coral texture veins and muted ivory veins at hafts around fully saturated tangerine coral beards. Fantastic show branching displays each beautiful flower to perfection. What judge could resist such a beauty?



LUXURY RUFFLES$10.00
Black 07; The standards of LUXURY RUFFLES are clear pale blue-white and falls medium violet-blue. So, what sets this one apart from others of similar color? Yes, the ruffles - no plain Jane here. Each petal has an abundance of ruffles while still maintaining a very clean, classic form. Strong, shorter, well-branched stalks will be of benefit in those areas with strong winds during bloom time.



LYNETTE BLUE$30.00
T.Johnson '09; If you like your iris blue, this one is for you! Complementary white beards on strongly ruffled mid sky blue flowers make Lynette Blue stand out. This iris, named for Kirk’s mom, is just as bubbly and full of life as she is. Strong show stalks carrying 8-9 buds help insure Lynette Blue will be a winner. Closing the season with her late bloom, Lynette Blue will leave a lasting impression.
