Baby Duck

Baby Duck (Douglas Kanarowski, 2016) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its vibrant, painterly color palette and refined form. Reaching 43" (109 cm), this midseason to late bloomer features luminous light yellow standards infused with pink-peach and veined in deeper tones, complemented by mid-orange style arms. The falls showcase a rich peach-orange center that transitions to golden orange at the edge, accented by deeper wine-orange veining and dramatic wine dotting along the distal edge. A tangerine-tipped beard and moderate ruffling add to its charismatic, garden-showpiece appeal. Baby Duck is lightly sweetly fragrant and has earned both an Honorable Mention (2018) and Award of Merit (2021), underscoring its pedigree-worthy status for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
