CALYPSO BEAT

We are delighted to name this new unusual bi-colour "Gérard Brière" after the founder of the iris garden Brocéliande in Brittany. Amber-yellow standards, tinted brown at their edge, and blue-violet falls with a large white centre and bright yellow long beards. Multiplies up well, unusual colour.

Upright standards, beige with a touch of golden yellow at top. Milky white falls with a narrow and clear yellow border (3-4 mm wide), bright yellow beards yellow shouldered. Large and ruffled flowers and well-branched stalks. A pleasant and rather unique new variety.

An elegant descendant of the excellent "Crowned Heads". Light blue standards and snow white falls with just a touch of greenish yellow near the sunshine yellow beards. Particularly attractive flowers with little ruffling. Vigorous growth.

Light brown standards and copper-yellow falls with orange-coloured beards. Warm flowers, medium-sized but in proportion to the leaves, semi-horizontal falls with delicately crimped edges.

Named after the beautiful Ile de Ré off the Brittany coast, it displays a combination of delicate seaside colours: the bluish-white on opening becomes pure white in full bloom. Pale yellow beards tipped with white. Numerous remarkably shaped ruffled flowers and a strong multiplier.

A child of the excellent "Dusky Challenger". It is a rich navy blue (almost exempt from violet). Vigorous grower and often three flowers blooming at the same time. Medium blue beards. RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2000.
