Daybreak Over the Rockies

Daybreak Over the Rockies (Elizabeth Rieniets, R. 2017) is a captivating intermediate bearded iris reaching 20" (51 cm) in height, blooming midseason. This variety features standards in a harmonious blend of light cerulean and powder blue with subtle denim hints, complemented by blue style arms. The falls display a grey-lavender base overlaid with a jasmine wash and intricate dark jasmine veining at the haft, fading delicately at the edges. The beards are a vibrant orange in the throat, transitioning to goldenrod over blue in the middle, and finishing with blue tips. A slight spicy-sweet fragrance adds to its appeal.
