FIT FOR A KING

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.

Son of ‘Clownerie’ with light caramel standards and large round falls, creamy yellow, edged and dotted with Burgundy red. Bronze beards. Good branching, like his seedling brother ‘Reflets du Sol’, 8 to 9 buds per stem. (Cayeux 10 98 B seedling).

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!

Lemon yellow standards turning creamy toward the edges; falls in the same tone but slightly darker with a hue of chartreuse green, lighter on the edges. Lemon yellow beards. Flowers are wide and rustled. A pleasant variation in yellow showing an interesting search for new colours.

Pleasant and plain medium purplish lavender. Classically shaped flowers. The white beards are prolonged by a thin white stripe.

White standards, white falls lined with closely spaced purple veins going from beard to edge and bordered with a narrow white rim. White beards tipped orange. Border bearded variety. (Black 2006)
