Gaudy Thing

Gaudy Thing (Bruce Filardi, 2009) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its bold, painterly color play and sculptural form. Reaching 13" (33 cm) in midseason, this garden-showpiece features pale blue-grey standards and style arms, contrasted by yellow-green falls dramatically washed with red and orange, all edged in a luminous blue-grey rim. The vivid, bright orange beards add a dynamic pop, while ruffled petals and a slight musky fragrance elevate its boutique-caliber appeal. With its pedigree-worthy lineage and arresting presence, Gaudy Thing is a conversation-starting centerpiece for any collector or enthusiast seeking a truly unforgettable bloom. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant, Ruffled
