Hope Is Everything

Hope Is Everything (Anna and David Cadd, 2011) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its extraordinary color blend and sculptural form. Reaching an impressive 36-42", this very late bloomer features standards in a sophisticated fusion of old gold and tan, accented by rosy lavender midribs. The style arms echo the old gold tones with intricate lavender midribs and pronounced lacing, adding a refined, couture-worthy touch. Falls are light tan-brown, dramatically overlaid with a luminous, fluorescent violet wash that covers half the petal, fading to a lighter hue around the gold beards tipped in lavender. A touch of old gold graces the shoulders, enhancing the bloom’s painterly effect. Noteworthy for its pronounced musky fragrance, Hope Is Everything is a garden-showpiece and a collector-grade addition, bred from Looking Forward X Status Seeker. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Laced
