Tall bearded (2)

AUTUMN CIRCUS

€7.00

White standards lightly peppered blue-violet. White falls with bold lines radiating from white beard, blue-violet plicata edge. It regularly reblooms at the beginning of autumn.

Flowering:Early

This historic variety (a descendent of "Dalmatica") features light to mid tones of lavender, lighter around the white, golden-tipped beards. Flowers are larger than the Iris Pallida's, and quite charming.

BAIE DES ANGES

€7.00

A very attractive solid light to medium blue with bright tangerine beards. This iris is a descendant of "Princesse Caroline de Monaco" and "Eau Vive", both blue with tangerine coloured beards. Medium sized flowers with a lovely shape. We feel that the pureness of tone compensates for the relatively small number of buds (6-7 on average).

BALLET DU BOLCHOÏ

€18.00

Pink, pink, pink! From two magnificent pink parents: ‘June Krauss’ and ‘Hortensia Rose’ here is a new, intense pink flower with the purest of coral beards. Unfussy, plump flowers. Good foliage and 8 buds per stem on average. (Cayeux seedling 10 276 A)

Flowering:Mid-season to late

BELLE DE MAI

€9.00

Wonderfully lively and salmon-pink standards framed by creamy pink, nearly horizontal falls with amethyst borders (over 5 to 7 mm). Long and thick coral-red beards ending in spurs of the same colour but which light up the pink of the falls. These truly inimitable lively tones will please those who are looking for a touch of brightness.

Flowering:Late

BELLE DE NUIT

€7.00

Broad flowers showing a lovely contrast: pale blue standards on wide and velvety pansy violet-blue falls, lighter on edges. Small tangerine beard with a white end. Good grower.

BELLE ÉTOILE

€12.00

Clear yellow standards turning to white on edges. Almost horizontal falls , white with a wide purple pink border (12 to 15 mm). Orange yellow beards.

BELLE SURPRISE

€15.00

One of our favourites in 2022 ! Mauve standards turning to beige-green on edges, horizontal purple-violet falls with a tan border. Golden bronzed beards. Truly new and a real charm inherited from its parent ‘Nelly Tardivier’ . 8 buds per stem .

BIENTOT L' ETE

€9.00

The very last one to flower! Pure light yellow standards and white falls with a wide, dark blue-violet brim. Orange beards sometimes lengthened by a violet spoon and surrounded with yellow markings. Very strong substance. Well-branched stalks carrying 8 buds.

Flowering:Very late

BLACK SUITED

€9.00

In our opinion, the blackest among the "black" tall beardeds. Standards and falls show the same intensity of black and the beards are black too. Elegant flowers, moderately ruffled. Slightly musky fragrance and very vigorous growth. Pleasant fragrance.

Flowering:Mid-season to late

BLEU MANTEAU

€12.00

Bluish-white standards with a touch of grey, velvety violet-purple falls with a lavender border. Quite fine smoky, orange beards. Beautiful low branched stems. Similar to ‘Profond Mystère’, but superior, in our opinion. (Cayeux sowing 11 193 A).

BLUE CRUSADER

€8.00

Tall stems, large ruffled flowers, extremely vigorous: it is a new deep violet of noble stature. Beards of the same colour. Each rhizome can produce three or more fans and each stem carries 7 to 8 flowers.

BLUE SUEDE SHoeS

€9.00

Recent deep navy blue with shining yellow beards. It produces many ruffled flowers, each stem consistently yielding 8 to 10 buds. In addition, it can bloom again later in the summer or beginning of autumn.

Flowering:Mid-season to late

BOLD ENCOUNTER

€7.00

Excellent variegata with old gold standards flushed burgundy at their base and velvety cherry black falls, narrowly edged with gilt-brown. Old gold beards. Superb stalks with 3 branches and 9 to 10 buds. Ruffled flowers and vigorous growth.

BONNE FIGURE

€18.00

Gorgeous is this plain beetroot red with deep bronze beards relatively discreet. Large and ruffled flowers (character inherited from its parent ‘Diabolique’). Tall stems, very elegant and 10 buds in average.

Flowering:Mid-season
