BRINDLED BEAUTY

Very amazing and very attractive at the same time! Lavender standards infused with green-yellow at their base and near-horizontal chartreuse-yellow falls infused with lavender in the centre. Cream beards. Frilly flowers. (Meek 2004)

Very wavy, an excellent shape, one of the last tall iris to flower. Between bold rosy lavender and perfectly plain mid-mauve – in all, a well-structured variety which is little known. A real ornamental addition to any garden.

Wonderful contrast between the pure white standards and the velvety, very dark violet falls, nearly black when the flower first opens. Deep egg yolk yellow beards light up the whole. Moderately sized flowers with ruffled edges, a well-proportioned plant. We are very happy to call this iris after the famous Gien pottery in our neighbouring town.

Golden yellow standards and pale pinkish mauve falls with a fine yellow border. Bright yellow beards. Variety registered by René Cayeux in 1947.

The cross "Chevalier de Malte" with "Conjuration" has given us many good seedlings, "Aurélie" is one of them. It has white standards with lavender on their edges and flaring purple-violet falls with a large white centre. The thick red beard ends in a white spur. Well-branched stalks. Winner at the Florence iris competition in 2007.

Excellent variegata with old gold standards flushed burgundy at their base and velvety cherry black falls, narrowly edged with gilt-brown. Old gold beards. Superb stalks with 3 branches and 9 to 10 buds. Ruffled flowers and vigorous growth.
