MIAMI BEACH

Mouth watering colour: racy red-claret with ruffled and flared falls. Excellent flowering habit: most stalks have four branches and average 10-11 nicely spaced buds. Vigorous growth and also disease resistant.

Warm butter yellow standards, burgundy red falls lighter around the discreet orange beards. A reliable long-flowerer, it brings a new contrast to the category variegata. Easy to propagate.

"Bizarre, you said bizarre?" Cream-blue standards which are infused with lavender tones at the centre, falls also of a cream-blue hue but leaning towards beige under coral-red beards. The beards are extended with cream-coloured spurs. Beautiful shape, edges with small frills. Almost indescribable colour. 7 buds.

Gracefully shaped flowers with sky blue standards and darker blue-violet plicata markings on ruffled ivory falls. Popular iris, prize-winner several times despite a moderate average count of buds (only 5 to 6).

Yes, "Fabuleux" is fabulous. It has ruffled pure white standards and white falls with a pure, bright blue border (2 cm wide), slightly darker on edges. It has a wonderful shape with wide strongly ruffled falls, yellow beards and strong stems. In fact, a taller and darker "Alizés".

This dark navy blue produces enormous flowers: 18 cm x 11 cm on strong tall stems with four branches and 6 to 8 buds. Plain colour, even the beards are dark navy blue.
