Behind Blue Eyes

Behind Blue Eyes (Larry Lauer, 2017) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and pattern. Early to midseason, this 11" standout unfurls light yellow standards adorned with violet-purple plicata markings and a deeper violet edge, complemented by vivid violet-purple style arms. The falls feature a crisp white base, dramatically overlaid with imperial purple plicata that intensifies at the edge, while bronze-yellow beards transition to aster violet tips. Ruffled petals and a pronounced sweet fragrance add to its garden-showpiece appeal. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2021, Behind Blue Eyes is a collector-grade, exhibition-ready iris with undeniable presence and pedigree. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
