Beta Gnu

Beta Gnu (Brad Kasperek, 2009) is a remarkable SPEC-X iris that commands attention with its bold, painterly patterning and dynamic color play. Early to midseason, 21" stems showcase standards of violet purple (RHS 94D) streaked with silver white and occasional hints of light yellow, while the style arms blend cream, light yellow, violet purple, and white in a captivating display. The falls are a dramatic canvas of violet purple, streaked with white, cream, or light yellow in ever-changing, graphic combinations. Deep yellow beards transition to white at the tips, adding a luminous accent. With a slight fragrance and a pedigree that includes Gnus Flash, Batik, and Rock Star, Beta Gnu is a true conversation-starting centerpiece for collectors and garden enthusiasts seeking a singular, exhibition-grade bloom. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant
