Eye Lines

Eye Lines (Donald Spoon, 2011) is a gallery-worthy SDB iris that brings a painterly, color-forward presence to the garden. Reaching 12" (30 cm) and blooming in the late midseason, this cultivar features nearly closed standards in luminous lavender blue (RHS 97C) with a subtle greyed orange (165B) pattern at the base, complemented by matching style arms. The falls are horizontally flared and ruffled, showcasing a lavender blue base with dramatic, darker violet blue (97A) streaks that thin into a delicate border, accented by a greyed orange pattern at the base of the hafts and deeper violet splashes. The beards are light lavender-blue, tipped with greyed-orange (168C) at the ends and a richer greyed-orange in the throat, adding a graphic, dynamic touch. With a pronounced sweet fragrance and a refined, sculptural form, Eye Lines is a collector-grade, conversation-starting iris—perfect for those seeking a memorable, exhibition-ready bloom with both visual and sensory appeal. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Novelty, Ruffled, Space Age
