Berry Scary

Berry Scary (Paul Black, 2005) is a truly extraordinary tall bearded iris, celebrated for its gallery-worthy presence and painterly color composition. Reaching an impressive 38" (97 cm), this early midseason bloomer features pastel greyed-orchid standards with deeper edges, buff orchid style arms, and dramatic falls—dark red-purple at the center blending into red violet, finished with a wide, translucent pearl-violet margin and a striking white spray around the vivid orange beard tipped with a small violet horn. The reverse reveals a brassy olive undertone, adding a unique dimension. Ruffled petals and a pronounced spicy fragrance elevate its allure, making Berry Scary a collector-grade, exhibition-ready standout. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2009, this cultivar is a dynamic, color-forward masterpiece for any iris enthusiast. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
