Foolish Act

Foolish Act (Tom Burseen, 2011) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and form. Reaching 36" and blooming early to midseason, this cultivar features mauve to methyl violet standards with mauve style arms, each edged in tan and anchored by purple bases. The falls are a luminous pale blue, washed with maize at the edges and highlighted by amber gold shoulders. Beards transition from orange in the throat to light blue and finish in violet blue, creating a vivid, color-forward effect. Ruffled petals and a pronounced musky fragrance add to its garden-showpiece appeal. With its dynamic presence and memorable palette, Foolish Act is a standout addition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a field-stopping, exhibition-grade iris.
