Cat And Mouse

Cat And Mouse (Paul Black, 2016) is a gallery-worthy SDB iris that commands attention with its painterly interplay of color and intricate patterning. This 12" early to midseason standout features luminous light green-yellow standards accented by a subtle light grey-blue rib, while refined white style arms are edged and crested in soft yellow for a polished, upscale effect. The falls are a vision of artistry—crisp white, boldly veined in dark brown that transitions to a dramatic, blended dark red-violet spot at the end of the beard, punctuated by a sharp white dart. A ¾" wide light yellow segment radiates from the spot to the petal edge, creating a high-contrast, graphic centerpiece. The beards shift from light yellow in the throat to pure white at the tips, adding dynamic visual interest. Enhanced by a slight musky fragrance, Cat And Mouse is a collector-grade showpiece, celebrated for its edge trim, refined veining, and captivating color play. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2018. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant, Veining Awards: Honorable Mention
