Circus Clown

Circus Clown (Paul Black, 2005) is a captivating SDB iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and refined form. Reaching 13" (33 cm) in midseason, this memorable variety features medium slate-violet standards softly blending to ecru margins, complemented by light slate-violet style arms. The falls showcase a dramatic smoky lavender base, highlighted by a diffused red-violet spot and a crisp white patch veined in red-violet around the beard, all framed by a narrow ecru band. Vivid white beards tipped in neon orange add a bold, electric accent. Ruffled petals and a slight sweet fragrance complete its exhibition-ready appeal. Circus Clown is a field-stopping addition to any garden, recognized with an Honorable Mention in 2007. Parentage: Buddy Boy X Lumalite. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
