Cher's Fancy Idea - Intermediate Bearded Iris

Cher's Fancy Idea is a richly detailed and luminously complex intermediate bearded iris with a striking interplay of dusky rose and deep purple — mid dusky-rose standards blending to a light yellow band frame dark purple falls fading to a mid purple margin with a narrow light yellow rim, pale sanded veins, and white luminata patches on each side of the beard. Beards of mid-orange at the throat transitioning through light orange to white ends complete a bloom of exceptional, layered artistry. A Paul Black variety of refined contemporary distinction.
