MARRON CHAUD

Salmon pink standards on pinkish purple falls. Bright orange-red beards on a paler zone. Tall and well-branched stems. Another interesting characteristic: it blooms late.

"Very chic, Yes Madame". Why seek complexity when beauty reveals itself in simplicity. Soft pink, lavender standards, falls of the same shade, slightly lighter. Beautiful tangerine beards adding to the charm of these large and well-formed flowers. 8 to 10 buds per stem. (Schreiner 2013).

"Paul Black" and "Alpenview" are the proud parents of this astonishing inversed amoena and its majestic 15 cm by 15 cm flower which is dedicated to Villa Erba, residence of the famous Italian film-director, Luchino Visconti. The magnificent wisteria-blue standards are darker at the centre, whilst the large bluish-white falls are elegantly undulated with ruffles. The mandarin-coloured beards of this really vigorous and fragrant new variety have lighter tips.

Apricot-infused cream standards, brightest at their centre, framing rather rounded and beautifully ruffled lavender falls with wide mid-brown edges. Their imposing bright orange beards are striking. This variety, with gorgeous stems (8 to 9 buds on average), is truly one of a kind!

Excellent and very pretty border bearded iris. Light peach standards and buff apricot falls with a small cream area beneath the tangerine beards. The small flowers are firm-bodied and have a wonderful shape, the proportions between flowers and the plant are in perfect harmony.

No doubt the best bluish purple Plicata on a white background. Both standards and falls are neatly bordered. Beards are a light lavender.  A very strong plant yielding up to 4 stalks per rhizome, each carrying 9 buds. Perfect shape.
