Perfect Animal

‘Perfect Animal’ (Elizabeth Rieniets, R. 2015) is a singular SDB iris that commands attention with its extraordinary color play and dynamic presence. Reaching 12" (30 cm) and blooming midseason, this garden-showpiece features green-yellow standards dramatically marked with solid purple at the midrib, fading to a painterly light purple wash over green-yellow. The style arms are lemon with a subtle violet cast, accented by plum tones radiating from center to edge. Falls are green-yellow with a vibrant purple cast, enhanced by darker veining and a striking white zone parallel to the beard, lined in purple. The beards themselves are a bold gradient: golden yellow in the throat, transitioning to yellow, and finishing in a deep blue. Noteworthy for its pronounced spicy fragrance, ‘Perfect Animal’ is a memorable, conversation-starting addition to any collection. Parentage unknown. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
