Mary Anna

Mary Anna (Donald Spoon, 2011) is a gallery-worthy SDB iris that radiates sophistication and artistry in the late midseason garden. This 9" (23 cm) collector’s gem features luminous, pure white standards and style arms—brighter than RHS N155—paired with sculptural, ruffled falls edged in a crisp 1/4" white border. The falls showcase a dramatic blue-violet spot (blend of 103A and 93B) with a painterly sunburst effect around the beards, while subtle light green hafts and refined brown veining add cultivated detail. The beards are white, tipped with a chic greyed-orange that deepens in the throat, enhancing the bloom’s visual intrigue. With erect to open standards, flared falls, and a slight sweet fragrance, Mary Anna is a showpiece for any border or collector’s bed—an exhibition-grade iris with undeniable presence and pedigree. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Novelty, Ruffled, Space Age, Veining
