Locomotion

Locomotion (Thomas Johnson, 2017) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, color-forward design. Reaching 32" (81 cm) and blooming early, this cultivar features standards in saturated raspberry red with a hint of yellow at the center, complemented by matching raspberry red style arms. The falls display a luminous white ground overlaid with a light to medium yellow wash, dramatically edged by a vivid raspberry red plicata band and accented with a deep raspberry bar across the hafts and a short dart below the beard. Vibrant orange beards tipped with brown and a slight fragrance add to its captivating presence. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2019, Locomotion is a standout, exhibition-grade addition to any garden. Parentage unknown. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
