2014 Tall Bearded Iris GRANDE COQUETTE

This is Richard Cayeux favourite introduction for 2014 and is certainly a stand out Iris with that 'let me show you a thing or two about colour' look that certainly pushes the boundaries. Its both elegant and bold. (Now who would of thought that combination was possible?)

BAIE DES ANGES
Tall bearded - Mid-season - Height :80cm
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).
