Fanciful Whimsy

Fanciful Whimsy (Paul Black, 2010) is a remarkable Intermediate Bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and form. Reaching 25" (64 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar features medium rosy plum standards edged with wide tan-gold bands, complemented by matching rosy plum style arms and tan-gold crests. The falls showcase vivid fuchsia centers encircled by a dramatic, wide dark plum band, with a luminous white area around the beard, veined and washed in deep plum. Blue-white beards tipped in yellow add a final touch of brilliance. With a slight sweet fragrance and a pedigree from Cimarron Trail x Stormy Circle, Fanciful Whimsy is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for gardeners seeking a vibrant, conversation-starting centerpiece.
