Oil Painting

Oil Painting (Joseph Ghio, 2012) is a tall bearded iris of commanding presence, reaching 38" (97 cm) and blooming in the early midseason. This gallery-worthy variety features mid-orange standards and yellow-orange falls edged in muted tan, with a luminous white flash around vivid tangerine beards—creating a painterly, color-forward effect reminiscent of a masterwork on canvas. With a pedigree that includes award-winning parentage, Oil Painting has earned both Honorable Mention (2015) and Award of Merit (2017), underscoring its status as a collector-grade, exhibition-ready standout. A true landscape centerpiece, it brings dynamic energy and refined artistry to any garden. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fertile Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
