Gallery - Tall Bearded Iris

Gallery is a tall bearded iris of extraordinary complexity and artistry — white standards are almost entirely washed in deep mulberry-violet plicata marking, while creamy white falls carry a bold, near half-inch mulberry band deepening at the haft. The beards are a masterpiece in themselves: mulberry at the tip, rust in the middle, tangerine in the throat, with hairs tangerine at the base tipped white. A striking Johnson variety that commands attention from the moment it opens.
