Besos

Besos (Hugh Stout, 2023) is a remarkable intermediate bearded iris that commands attention with its rich, saturated crimson red standards and bold carmine red falls, accented by a delicate pink wire rim. The persimmon orange style arms, veined in crimson and touched with sunflower orange, add a painterly vibrance, while the aureolin yellow beards provide a showy, eye-catching contrast. Early to midseason blooms stand at 25" (63.5 cm), exuding a slight musky fragrance. With its dynamic color-forward presence and strong growth habit, Besos is a memorable, garden-showpiece selection from Stout Gardens, bred from ‘Flaming Lips’ x ‘Adoree’. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
