ECLIPSE DE MAI

Imposing bright and deep violet perfectly plain. Thick yellow-orange beards ending pale lavender. Full and round flowers, lightly ruffled and firm bodied. Son of ‘Paul Black’ and ‘Rippling River’.

Smooth rosy-lavender lit up with bright tangerine beards. Graceful flowers and good growth habits.

Robust descendant of "Futuriste" and "World Premier". Very pale blue standards and strong indigo-blue falls, fairly discreet yellow beards. Enormous flowers enlivened by strong, ample ruffles. Flowers quite close to the main stem, a characteristic inherited from its parent, "World Premier".

A strongly coloured iris which we are proud to name after a great French courtier! Soft yellow standards above falls of the same yellow with a wide, raspberry red border, strongly waved like the folds of a courtier's costume. Large flowers carried on tall, well-branched stems.

Sibling to 'Tapis Rouge' , yet completely different in its so very pleasant pastel tones. Very light pink beige standards framed by wide and ruffled falls of pale lavender pink turning white toward the centre. Light orange beards.

A good French-American cross: 'Irisades' x 'Calypso Beat'. Standards of a light butter-yellow, wide, nearly horizontal falls of a purple somewhere between mid-tones of aubergine and velvety claret-red, turning somewhat lighter towards the yellowy-orange beards. A clear contrast. Gorgeous ruffled edges and a strong stem.(brother to our 'Si Tendre' new variety)
