Chief John Jolly (Tom Parkhill, 2003) is a tall bearded iris reaching 36" (91 cm), notable for its early bloom and subtle, complex coloration.

The falls are white with a distinct violet border and violet rays radiating from the burnt gold beards, which are tipped violet at the ends. This iris offers a slight spicy fragrance and is the result of a cross between Instructor and Momentum.
