Be Brief

Be Brief (Paul Black, 2008) is a memorable Miniature Dwarf Bearded iris, celebrated for its bold, graphic color contrast and pronounced sweet fragrance. This award-winning cultivar features butter yellow standards with dramatic charcoal-purple midribs and plicata markings, complemented by charcoal-purple style arms. The falls echo the butter yellow ground, edged with a narrow to wide charcoal-purple plicata band and accented by dark brown veining and a gold-tipped brown beard. Ruffled and painterly, Be Brief is a show garden quality, midseason standout—perfect for collectors and those seeking a field-stopping, exhibition-ready bloom. Honorable Mention 2011; Award of Merit 2014. ('Stripe Three' x 'Ballistic'). Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
