Bientôt LÉté

Bientôt L’Été (Richard Cayeux, 2014) is a gallery-worthy Tall Bearded iris that dazzles with its high-contrast, painterly palette and sculptural form. This very late bloomer stands at 32" (80 cm), featuring pure, luminous yellow standards and style arms, set off by crisp white falls edged with a bold, deep blue-violet border approximately 12 mm wide. The horizontal falls are highlighted by a vivid yellow area beneath vibrant orange beards, sometimes tipped with a small horn for added intrigue. Each bloom measures a balanced 4.25" (11 cm) in both height and width, carried on robust stalks with three branches (including the terminal) and up to eight buds per stem. Bred from ‘Bel Avenir’ and a sibling to ‘Noctambule,’ Bientôt L’Été is a collector-grade, show garden centerpiece for those seeking a refined, color-forward iris with undeniable presence.
