RADICAL RASCAL (P. Black ‘20)
SDB Midseason-Late 12” (30cm)
How to describe the ever-changing? Sometimes it is white with very little mid lilac plicata marking and other times it has only a small amount of white showing and all sorts in between. Either way, it is unique. Thank you, Sarah Schwass, for the name.

SO EXCITED (T. Johnson ’20)
TB Early 40” (102cm)
Another iris with a very complex color pattern. White standards are heavily infused yellow in the center. Falls have deep lemon hafts then a white area below the beard which transitions into a lavender wash and finally a wide blended rust and purple blended band with a darker wire rim. It is a pretty wild color pattern and is very distinctive in the garden. Tall well branched stalks assure that it won’t be overlooked.

SO HAPPY (T. Johnson ’21)

Our fascination continues with the lined pattern. Standards are white. Falls are a white ground with lavender wash and deep lavender veins that extend from the base of the standards to the wide white border. Brilliant tangerine beards and gold touched hafts complete the look. Strong growth with nice stems and buds on vigorous, floriferous plants.

STAR IN THE NIGHT (P. Black '09)
IB Midseason-Late 25” (63cm)
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.

STARDUST EVENING (P. Black '21)
TB Early-Midseason 31” (79cm)
Even before opening, its opalescent silver gray buds are intriguing. As the buds open there is a transformation to dark purple flowers. Dark indigo purple standards are narrowly banded dark red purple as are styles. Wide, ruffled and laced falls are dark indigo purple becoming lighter toward edges and rimmed dark purple. Mixed old gold to brown beards are sandwiched between white hafts heavily veined/sanded black purple. Stalks have 3-4 branches and 7-8 buds. It is an interesting parent.

STITCHES (T. Johnson ’19)
TB Mid-Late 36” (91cm)
Sweet fragrance. Light yellow standards with a very narrow darker plicata stitched edge. Falls are white with a narrow purple stitched edge and short purple lines on either side of fuzzy mustard beards. Coming from parents carrying the plicata gene but not plicata themselves adds a bit more genetic diversity to the pattern. A nice clean pattern that is proving to be a garden favorite. Good growth and heavy substance flowers on strong stems carrying up to 10 buds.

Pink standards; falls are medium rosy pink in the center forming a deeper rosy pink blended band. Beautifully ruffled and even lightly laced petal edges on well-formed flowers carried on good stalks.
