Open Your Eyes

Open Your Eyes (Paul Black, 2010) is a captivating SDB iris that commands attention with its bold, graphic color pattern and refined form. Reaching 15" (38 cm) and blooming midseason late, this award-winning variety features luminous white standards and style arms, contrasted by falls of pure white dramatically marked with a large, irregularly blended inky dark-blue spot and crisp white darts in the throat. The white beards and pronounced sweet fragrance add to its garden-showpiece appeal. With a pedigree from Ajax The Less x Big Blue Eyes and a decorated history—Honorable Mention 2012, Award of Merit 2014, and Cook Douglas Medal 2016—Open Your Eyes is a collector-grade, exhibition-ready standout for any landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fertile, Fragrant Awards: Cook-Douglas Medal, Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
