TANAGRA

A choice contribution in the medium blue category (not so developed elsewhere). Gracefully wavy semi-horizontal falls with fairly discreet light blue beards. Good branching and 7 to 8 buds on average per stem. Really very, very blue! (Cayeux Sowing 09 202 A).

A very attractive solid light to medium blue with bright tangerine beards. This iris is a descendant of "Princesse Caroline de Monaco" and "Eau Vive", both blue with tangerine coloured beards. Medium sized flowers with a lovely shape. We feel that the pureness of tone compensates for the relatively small number of buds (6-7 on average).

Mid mauve standards edged chrome yellow, style arms pinard yellow lightning the heart of the flower. Prunelle falls turning to mid purple towards the edge surrounded by a yellow chartreuse rim. Cadmium yellow beards ending white on a white spot. Lot of ruffles, very sophisticated indeed !

White standards infused with soft yellow at their base. White falls overlaid at the top with a soft butter yellow pattern. Orange yellow beards. 6 to 8 broad ruffled flowers on well-branched stalks. Very vigorous, forming quickly large and decorative clumps.

This son of "Coming up Roses" is a heavily ruffled rosy lilac with lighter and pinker falls. Beards are tangerine. Vigorous grower and good stalks.

What's new in "Cape Perpetua"? Not its colour: light and plain blue with white beards, but its shape: both standards and falls show lacy, frilly edges and this is unique in its category. A really charming blue iris!
