Cat's Eye

Cat’s Eye (Paul Black, 2002) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its bold, painterly color contrasts and refined form. Reaching 15" (38 cm) in midseason, this award-winning cultivar features mauve rose standards and style arms, dramatically set off by dark red falls veined in black and encircled by a wide mauve rose band. The old gold beards, highlighted by a violet base, add a luxe touch, while a slight spicy fragrance enhances its garden appeal. With a pedigree from Snugglebug x Buddy Boy and a decorated history—including the Walther Cup, Award of Merit, and Cook-Douglas Medal—Cat’s Eye is a collector-grade, exhibition-ready standout for any garden. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fertile, Fragrant, Veining Awards: Award of Merit, Cook-Douglas Medal, Honorable Mention, Walther Cup
