Icy lavender blue standards have a salmon-peach central flush. Falls are a smooth and rich violet purple with a lighter lavender edge. Great stems, growth, buds, form and very floriferous making quite a statement. We like everything about this iris.

PHOTO SHOOT (T. Johnson ’19)
TB Midseason-Late 36” (91cm)
A super clean and sharp pattern really makes PHOTO SHOOT stand out with its pristine white ground and precise blue to violet dotting around both the standards and falls. A dark violet black bar across the hafts and deep purple style arms add to the drama. Even the beards add a bit of mystery being yellow in the throat then becoming lighter with violet tips. Super nice ruffled form completes the package. Not just another purple plicata!

Palest lilac standards surround yellow styles. Wide, arched falls have big black signals giving way to a dark cherry area and then to mid red purple and finished with a 1/4” tan gold band. Grows easily in average garden conditions.
