Mad World

Mad World (John Painter, 2010) is a commanding tall bearded iris that delivers a bold, color-forward presence in the garden. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming midseason, this remarkable cultivar features saturated indian red standards with bronze red midribs and style arms, while the falls echo the indian red theme, highlighted by an orchid violet center, a vivid red center stripe, bronze shoulders, and a luminous white spray pattern at the gold beards. With its painterly, high-contrast patterning and dynamic, gallery-worthy appeal, Mad World is a true landscape centerpiece and a collector-grade addition for any iris enthusiast. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2014, this pedigree-worthy iris is available from Amethyst Creek Farm. Awards: Honorable Mention
