Dog Days

Dog Days (Paul Black, 2011) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its late to very late bloom and dynamic color play. Reaching 36" (91 cm), this cultivar features caramel-washed medium brown standards and medium russet style arms, contrasted by medium butter-yellow falls adorned with a white luminata patch stippled in brown. The plum plicata haft, tan band, and inner ring of medium plum sanding and dotting create a painterly, pattern-forward effect, while a medium plum center line draws the eye from beard to edge. The beards themselves transition from dark greyed-tangerine in the throat to lighter tones at the end, adding further depth. A slight spicy fragrance enhances its garden appeal. With its gallery-worthy coloration and pedigree from ‘Lovely Dawn’ and ‘Master Plan x Rock Star’, Dog Days is a collector-grade, show garden quality iris available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
