MERRY AMIGO

Name after the exquisite French Jouy tapestries, famous for their delicate stitching. Pure white standards flushed with lavender at their edges, very pretty purple falls sporting a wide white centre around the bright red beard. Exemplary stalks with 4 branches and an average of 9 buds. Multiplies up fast.

An excentric son of "Romantic Evening" with white standards and falls between off white, brown and light copper. Bright rust-red beards add character to this amoena. Styles are white tipped with copper brown. Shafts with 2 to 3 branches, each carrying 8 to 12 buds.

Another direct descendant of "Ravissant", full of freshness and possessing great qualities. Pure white standards with touch of lavender on their edges, wide white falls with a crisp amethyst border, 1.5 cm to 2 cm wide. Coral-coloured beards. Nicely shaped, plentiful flowers, gracefully and subtly ruffled. Like its parent, it has perfect branching and multiplies up very well.

Wide and ruffled bright mid-blue falls with a white centre streaked with the same blue. Tangerine beards and vivid white standards. Sturdy stems and vigorous vegetation. First prize at the competition of Orleans in 1997.

This delight spreads its light brown-red standards above nearly horizontal garnet-red falls which boast exquisite lacy crimped edges. The glowing yellow beards seem lengthened by a 3 to 4 cm-long stripe running along the middle. These wonderful flowers are rather round and their stalks well branched.

Pretty new variety resulting from our research into colour-edged irises. Featuring raised standards of apricot-pink, large falls with rosy-white centres and wide amaranth-toned edges. Thick mandarin beard. Good substance and excellent branching.
