Now if you were delivered this iris in the 'Morning Mail' it would make your day, don't you think?? A stand-out pure orchid-lilac self with a distinctly bright tangerine red beard . Extremely tough and resilient with great branching and a extended bloom period. Absolutely huge carrying power in the garden.
