UNFURLED FLAG

36"  M  Hager  1983

Standards none; falls (6) blue violet; white beard tipped yellow.

VOULEZ-VOUS

34"  ML  Johnson  2015

Six consistently flat falls are lavender with a darker maroon wash and darker texture veins. There are no standards. Buffy peach styles create pretty contrast in their centers. Growth is strong and vigorous. Show stalks are the norm. Large blooms have been consis- tently flat over 6 years of evaluation. It should be an easy winner at shows.

WANT A HUG

39” M Harry Turner 2000

Standards blue white, bluish streak on lower midrib; style arms white; falls white, tinted blue; beards bright yellow; flat form; slight sweet fragrance.

Untamed Glory

2”8  M Thomas Johnson  2021

It very consistently has six falls and no standards, but instead of going completely flat they hold in the shape of a magnolia bloom. It is very reminiscent in form of a very old cultivar by Opal Brown called Pink Magnolia. A clump of Untamed Glory will completely cover itself with these large ruffled salmon pink flowers with irregular white broken color. Definitely an iris for those who love the novelties.

His granddaughter liked the iris, and he planted it along with others in her iris garden south of town where the iris has grown since.She has shown it at iris show in the seedling division, and the iris caught the attention of a judge, Hooker Nichols, of Dallas, who asked if he could introduce the iris for Benson posthumously in the new Novelty Section of the American Iris Society.
