CALYPSO BEAT

We hesitated for a long time whether to introduce this iris, but lots of iris lovers urged us that we should... So here is an amoena with mid-grey rather than white standards. The golden yellow beards light up the grey of the nearly horizontal falls. Certainly an unusual colour, but original, and would have its place in many a garden. 5 to 6 buds.

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

Light chocolate standards, flushed blue-lavender. Richer chocolate falls with darker chocolate hafts and blue blaze in the centre. Most original!

A real champion within this category! Huge flowers (16 cm x 11 cm) have a gentle flowing ruffle and the colour is deep royal purple perfectly plain, even the beards are purple. Each 6 to 8 budded stem has 2 to 3 flowers opening simultaneously. Excellent growth.
