Point to Ponder

Point to Ponder (Perry Dyer, deceased, by Hugh Stout Jr, R. 2025) is a remarkable intermediate bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly plicata patterning and dynamic color contrasts. Reaching 26" (66 cm) and blooming early to midseason, this seedling (PD-64N) features white standards dramatically speckled and veined with eminence and lighter mardi gras purple, complemented by mauvine and mardi gras purple style arms. The falls showcase a luminous white ground encircled by a wide, vibrant mardi gras purple plicata band, with deeper eminence purple speckling and veining at the haft. Beards are a captivating blend of light lavender bases tipped in maize yellow, finished with long, tattered appendages in eminence purple and lavender. A slight sweet fragrance adds to its allure. Bred from ‘It Ain’t Me Babe’ X ‘Tomball’, Point to Ponder is a true garden showpiece and a conversation-starting addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
