Tall Bearded Iris 'PROPHECY'







Another Iris name that was originally used by Jean Stevens, and then used by Joe Ghio. This also applied to the Iris VANITY originally used by Jean Stevens in 1949.
Still the iris PROPHECY pictured above is a good looking Iris which shows good increase, long bloom season, and gives pleasure in our garden,but in saying that it sure would have been nice to have both.

    Prophecy has a lovely colour combination. I like the depth and striations on the falls.
    A longer blooming period is always a bonus.
