Sky of Blue - Dwarf Bearded Iris

Sky of Blue brings a layered palette of blue to the early-midseason dwarf iris display, pairing medium light-blue standards traced with darker veins above violet-blue falls shaded to blue margins. Light-blue rays beside the beards, brassy plum throat veins and tangerine-to-white beard colouring add intricate contrast.
