SOUFRIERE

Bright colours for this winner of the Florence iris competition in 2002. Golden-yellow standards with light plum at their base, caramel falls infused with pale violet below the old gold beards. Moderate sized flowers, well shaped and 9 to 10 buds per stalk. Subtle perfume.

White standards, lightly tinted with lavender, and pure white falls with a fine border of bright mauve. Clearly visible orange beards. A very attractive plant with good branching.

Creamy white ruffled standards, their edges tinted very pale lavender. Nearly horizontal falls with a beautiful wide amethyst border (approx 1.5 cm). Orange beards with bright yellow shoulders right along to their ends: a really illuminated centre to the flower which gives it a joyful and innovative character. Strong-bodied, good foliage and excellent branching.

Brother from the same sowing as ‘Masque Noir ’with slightly smoky yellow standards, and falls have a white ground which is edged, as well as almost entirely dusted with purple-violet; standards are thin at the base allowing the long orange beards to show. Very interesting and new! (Cayeux seedling 12 319 A).
