WATERLINE

Delicate pink standards. Deep rose-violet plicata markings and peppering on edge of falls which have a white background. Yellow beards. It is a robust iris with large flowers and 8 to 9 buds.

Quite innovative in this range: purplish violet standards with lacy edges, falls slightly bolder with a narrow bronze border, old gold beards set against a small white background which lights up the whole flower. Descendant of "Serene Moment". Interesting and late-flowering.

Had I to choose a favourite among my hybrids for 2018, it would no doubt be this one! A unique 2-toned red: medium brownish red standards that lighten a bit over time. Dark Burgundy red falls, lighter along the edges. Exceptional shape and branching with an average of 8 buds. Beards are medium brown. (Cayeux seedling 06 33 A)

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.

A wonderful bubbling exuberance is evoked by the wavy shape of the flowers. Rosy cream standards and cream falls edged with amethyst. The wide, tufted, coral red beards, are really astonishing. Low branching stems with an average of 8 buds. In short: very original.

Heavily ruffled dark purple with black highlights and discreet dark blue-violet beards. Light purple base foliage and sweet fragrance. Well-branched and 10 buds. Flowers a long time and quite early. (Tasco 2006)
