I'm All Shook Up

I'm All Shook Up (Paul Black, 2012) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its dynamic color play and sculptural form. Reaching 30" (76 cm) and blooming midseason to late, this award-winning variety features standards with a dark slate-plum base blending to mid violet and blue-white, encircled by a 1/2" blended tan-gold band and accented by dramatic purple veining. The style arms glow mid tan-yellow with a violet ridge, while the falls transition from plum-black hafts to mid plum, mid purple, and a chalky blue-white, finished with a 1/4" tan-gold band and a bold 3/4" plum-black elliptical dart at the beard’s end. Cream veins in the throat and beards shifting from mid light yellow to white add further dimension. A slight musky fragrance enhances its garden presence. With a pedigree from Bold Encounter, Foreign Legion, Meritage, and Pharaoh’s Spirit, and honors including the AIS Honorable Mention (2015) and Award of Merit (2019), I'm All Shook Up is a gallery-worthy, conversation-starting centerpiece for any iris collection. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Veining Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
