$18.00		CAPICHE
SDB , 14" (36cm) , Late

Sdlg. TA144B: Wish Upon a Star X Squeal sib



$55.00		RASPUTIN
TB , 34" (86cm) , Midseason
Rasputin was most assuredly as colorful a character as the iris but definitely lacked the good-looks. Heavily ruffled, luscious apricot peach standards have a lovely rosy blush up midribs. Neatly ruffled, wide falls are rich wine claret banded mid rosy mauve. Light peach veins cluster around bright tangerine beards. Large flowers are presented on strong, well-branched stalks.

$18.00		STAR OF INDIA
SDB , 12" (30cm) , Midseason
Star of India, the iris, is the embodiment of the clear blue color of the world’s largest star sapphire. Standards and falls of clear mid blue are covered with a fine network of darker blue texture veins. Blue white rays flanking tangerine to white beards are the star of this lovely creation.
Sdlg. TZ336A: Microwave X Little Sweden



$50.00		THINKING CAP
TB , 30" (76cm) , Late
Thinking Cap is another quality attempt at a reverse blue and pink bicolor - blue standards and pink falls. As with all the other contenders, the colors stay somewhat smoky and standards still lean toward violet instead of blue. Hopefully it won’t be too many more generations before we get a clean version. Reverse blue and yellow bicolors should also begin to emerge from similar types of breeding. This has been as big a challenge as putting true blue beards on clean white TB flowers.
Sdlg. TZ30A: Champagne Frost X Belgian Princess



$18.00		THROWING DARTS
SDB , 11" (28cm) , Midseason
Step up to the line and let loose your dart straight and true. This bright creation hits the mark.

Vivid orange to yellow orange beards terminate in short, pointed white darts. Very showy clumps.

Sdlg. TZ77C: Thundermaker X (Jersey Bounce x House Warming)



$24.00		WHAT ABOUT ME
IB , 30" (76cm) , Midseason
What About Me is one of those lovely irises that is too beautiful to throw out but that also doesn’t fit well in any of the classes. Best thing to do is put it in a class and say, “grow it and enjoy it for the fantastic garden iris it is”. Standards are soft yellow as is band around white falls. Soft blue beards are the perfect accent.
Sdlg. TA112A: (Quite the Reverse x Mythology) X Bluebeard’s Ghost



$18.00		YOUNG LASS
SDB , 11" (28cm) , Early
