Canine Caper

Canine Caper (Paul Black, 2015) is a truly distinctive Standard Dwarf Bearded iris, celebrated for its dynamic color palette and reliable reblooming habit (Rebloomer, unknown zone). Standing at 15.5" (39 cm), this midseason to late bloomer features sophisticated mid violet standards that blend seamlessly into a soft grey-tan, complemented by mid violet style arms edged and crested in brass-tan. The falls are a dramatic mid red-brown, fading to a mid olive rim, and are illuminated by white rays along the marigold-to-pale blue beards—each beard hair based in the palest blue for a subtle, painterly effect. A gentle musky fragrance adds an extra layer of allure. A sibling to 'My Cher' and the result of a thoughtful cross between 'Island' and seedling Q95A, Canine Caper is a collector-grade iris with a proven pedigree. Its reblooming prowess is exceptional, with up to seventeen distinct bloom cycles documented in Gippsland, Australia between 2022 and 2025, making it a dynamic, season-spanning performer in suitable climates. Honored with an Honorable Mention in 2017, Canine Caper is a gallery-worthy, color-forward showpiece that brings both pedigree and performance to any garden or collector’s bed.
