Men Are From Mars

Men Are From Mars (Paul Black, 2013) is a truly remarkable Tall Bearded iris that brings a gallery-worthy presence to any garden. Towering at 40" (102 cm), this midseason to late bloomer is a masterclass in color and pattern: the standards feature a rich, mid dark old gold center with a luminous white outer third, all intricately veined in gold filigree for a painterly effect. The style arms echo the gold theme, accented by a charcoal-violet midrib for added depth. Falls are a vibrant mid lilac, dramatically set off by a mid chestnut haft and a finely defined 1/4" band, with tan sanded veins adding graphic texture. The beards transition from dark old gold in the throat to lighter tips, creating a dynamic focal point. Notably, Men Are From Mars is celebrated for its pronounced sweet fragrance, making it as delightful to the senses as it is to the eyes. With a pedigree that includes 'Class Clown' and a lineage of award-winning parents, this iris is not only a visual showpiece but also a robust, floriferous addition to the garden. Honored with an Honorable Mention in 2015, Men Are From Mars is a collector-grade variety that stands out for its health, vigor, and unforgettable color play.
