Tall Bearded Iris 'Montmartre'

Wait until you see this in person, with the sun shining on it. Stunning!
I took it to our iris show. Everyone stopped to look at i...Read Moret and wanted one. I took it to my office and everyone that passed by stopped to look at it. People that never looked any of my other iris. It is eye-catching.

Montmartre

EM 33" ((Moonlit Water sib x New Leaf...Read More) X High Master)

Standards bishops purple, fall a darker velverty red purple. Chrome yellow beards, white to lemon at the end, are surrounded by the white luminata heart. The quarter-inch straw yellow standard edging and narrower oyster white fall edging show to great advantage on heavily ruffled and flounced petal margins .....like the contrasting hem on a cancan dancer's skirt in action. Oo la la!! Up to three branches and terminal, eight buds, and lots of eye appeal. A tad on the short side, but hey, so was Toulouse-Lautrec.
