AFTERNOON IN RIO

€7.00

Quite innovative in this range: purplish violet standards with lacy edges, falls slightly bolder with a narrow bronze border, old gold beards set against a small white background which lights up the whole flower. Descendant of "Serene Moment". Interesting and late-flowering.

ATTIRANCE

€9.00

Whilst always seeking to be original, one could almost forget these subtle yet useful colours. Deliciously lavender pink with a very thin and discrete lavender beard. Quality branching with 8 buds on average, very prolific.

Flowering:Mid-season to late

AU BORD DU LAC

€9.00

White standards with blue pigmentation on the edges, broad white falls a clear blue violet border and orange-yellow beards. First-class shape, substance and shank.

Flowering:Mid-season to late

AURELIE

€6.00

The cross "Chevalier de Malte" with "Conjuration" has given us many good seedlings, "Aurélie" is one of them. It has white standards with lavender on their edges and flaring purple-violet falls with a large white centre. The thick red beard ends in a white spur. Well-branched stalks. Winner at the Florence iris competition in 2007.

Flowering:Mid-season

AZYIADE

€6.00

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).

BALLON CAPTIF

€12.00

Resulting from a cross between 'Winterfest' and 'Purple Serenade', this variety features giant flowers (17 cm in diameter) of a rich, deep and very even crimson tone. Dark violet blue beards. Ample undulations frame both the standards and falls.

BELGIAN PRINCESS

€6.00

Soft lavender standards and white falls tinted very pale pinkish lavender, contrasted against the bright tangerine beards. An iris with lots of finesse and great style! Very ruffled flowers, 8 to 9 buds per stem. Vigorous grower with good resistance to disease.

Flowering:Early to mid-season

BELLE DE NUIT

€6.00

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 HORTENSE

€6.00

Beautiful two-tones violet with pur violet standards and purplish violet falls almost black on the edges and around the bronze beards. The wide falls have a velvety lustre and waved edges.

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 .

BLUE CRUSADER

€7.00

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 TEMPTATION

€7.00

Marvellous really pure mid-blue, bred from two equally wonderful blues: "Yaquina Blue" and "Oregon Skies". Yellow beards tipped with blue, nearly invisible in this cerulean ocean. Very big flowers (10 cm x 16 cm), gently ruffled.

CAPE PERPETUA

€7.00

What's new in "Cape Perpetua"? Not its colour: light and plain blue with white beards, but its shape: both standards and falls show lacy, frilly edges and this is unique in its category. A really charming blue iris!

CHOU BLEU

€7.00

A large, very pure medium blue with very discreet yellow beards. Strongly borne flowers with quite round, well waved falls. The foliage is vigorous and the upright stems carry an average of 8 to 10 buds. Brother of the Cayeux variety "Heure Bleue".

CONFISERIE

€7.50

Brother to 'Attirance' and just as enticing with its lovely plain purplish lavender tone. The shape is exquisite with strongly ruffled falls. Beards are tipped in pale lavender. Average 9-10 buds per stem.

DAKOTA SMOKE

€9.00

A slightly strange but attractive colour : medium purple standards, burgundy toward the heart. Almost horizontal falls coloured somewhere between magenta pink, purple or violet. Purple beards. An abundance of flowers: 3 to 4 branches per stalk carrying each between 8 and 13 buds!

DANGEROUS MOOD

€7.00

Interesting and very unusual colour contrast between the pale blue standards and the bluish-black velvety falls. Black-purple beards tipped yellow. This very recent iris (introduced in the USA in 2004) has strong stalks and propagates very quickly.

DUSKY CHALLENGER

€6.00

A huge flower of impeccable shape, ruffled but not too much. The colour is a rich purple-violet shimmering like silk, even the beards are dark purple-blue.

ECLIPSE DE MAI

€7.00

It is a somptuous two-tone violet with dark violet standards and very wide, gracefully waved falls between black and violet. Black-violet beards bring an extra depth to the ensemble. 8 buds per stem and vigorous, healthy foliage.
