Altered States

Altered States (Tom Burseen, 1997) is a truly remarkable Tall Bearded iris, celebrated for its dynamic, unpredictable patterning and bold color contrasts. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar features standards with a white ground dramatically washed and streaked in purple, complemented by deep purple style arms. The falls are white, artfully dotted, blotched, and sometimes streaked in purple, creating a painterly, ever-changing display that ensures no two blooms are exactly alike. The purple-black beards, tipped with mustard, add a vivid accent, while the ruffled form and spicy fragrance elevate its garden presence. With its arresting, pattern-forward look and memorable fragrance, Altered States is a conversation-starting, exhibition-grade addition for collectors and garden enthusiasts alike. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Ruffled, Speckled Awards: TB's Place
