Paint Pots

Paint Pots (Paul Black, 2014) is a captivating SDB iris that commands attention with its bold, painterly color play and graphic patterning. Reaching 12" (30 cm) and blooming early to midseason, this garden-showpiece features mid old gold standards and falls dramatically marked with a large, blended mid red-brown spot covering two-thirds of each fall, accented by vivid venation beside the beard. The style arms glow in light lilac with mid old gold edges and crests, while the beards transition from orange in the throat to light yellow-orange at the tips. A slight musky fragrance adds a refined touch. With its tailored form and memorable, color-forward presence, Paint Pots is a collector-grade addition for any iris enthusiast. Honorable Mention, 2016.
