Micro Burst

Micro Burst (Richard Tasco, 2009) is a remarkable intermediate bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, color-forward presence. Reaching 25" (64 cm) in height, this midseason standout features dramatic dark violet-purple standards veined lighter, each edged with a refined old-gold rim. The falls are equally captivating—deep violet-purple, sanded and veined lighter, with a velvety black lower half and a luminous white area near the beard, accented by bright yellow edges and a thin gold rim. Tangerine and golden tangerine beards add a vivid pop, while the white style arms with a light purple blush provide a painterly touch. Moderately ruffled and showcasing a sophisticated luminata pattern, Micro Burst is lightly fragrant and boasts a pedigree from 'Mind Reader' x 'Hoodlum.' Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2012, this iris is a garden-showpiece and a collector-grade addition, available from Amethyst Creek Farm.
