Desert Snow

Desert Snow (Paul Black, 2013) is a remarkable arilbred iris (OGB-) that commands attention with its luminous, ice-white standards and falls, dramatically punctuated by a bold 1" blue-black aril signal. This 25" midseason to late bloomer is a true garden showpiece, with beards of white-based, light yellow-tipped hairs adding a refined touch. Bred from 'Lancer' x 'Open Your Eyes', Desert Snow boasts an impressive pedigree and a decorated show record, including the Walther Cup, Award of Merit, and the prestigious Mohr Medal. Its crisp, high-contrast coloration and sculptural form make it a standout in any landscape, perfect for collectors and those seeking a field-stopping, exhibition-grade iris. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention, Walther Cup
