Those deep colored beards accent this iris perfectly. Substance is so good, this iris seems nearly weather proof. Sdlg. SFC-07-CC, TB. 33-35". Mid to late season. Stands. and style arms are a baby blue to light Baby Blue. Falls are lighter. They're a light baby blue to a pale baby blue. Beards stand out, as they are bronze in the throat changing to blue to deep blue. Excellent substance.
