IT’S A WRAP (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Midseason-late 37” (94cm)
Slight fragrance This gorgeous pink iris was named ‘It’s A Wrap’ because we always know that when it starts to bloom we are heading towards the end of the bloom season. Marked for introduction from its maiden bloom, we have been patiently building stock and are excited to finally offer it. Best described as a gorgeous pink self with a slightly lighter area below the beard. The beards are a wonderful shade of shrimp pink. All this and perfectly formed flowers that are wide, ruffled and lightly laced. Good stems and high bud count make this a long bloomer and a good candidate for best specimen at the late shows.

A touch of pink at the hafts on either side of the soft coral and white beards add perfectly to the elegance. A perennial favorite every year since its maiden bloom. Sdlg TO187L: Anti Hero sib
