Reincarnation

Reincarnation (Monty Byers, 1989) is a collector-grade tall bearded iris that brings a dynamic, gallery-worthy presence to any garden. This midseason rebloomer stands at 37" (93 cm), flaunting heavily ruffled, medium mulberry petals with painterly pink blends at the hafts. Its vivid orange-red beard and fuzzy mulberry horns on spring bloom add sculptural intrigue and a touch of novelty. A pronounced sweet fragrance enhances its appeal, making Reincarnation both a visual and sensory standout. Bred from Vanity x Moonlit and introduced by Moonshine Gardens in 1989, this iris is a refined choice for those seeking a bloom with pedigree, vibrant color play, and unmistakable character.

Guardian Garden irises are endangered cultivars preserved through long-term stewardship rather than routine sale. Many of these varieties have been lost to time through attrition, discontinued propagation, or the disappearance of original growers, leaving only a few known living examples in cultivation. When a Guardian Garden variety is offered, it reflects that a sustainable stock level has finally been reached within our collection; availability remains intentionally limited to protect the cultivar’s future. We encourage collectors who value historic preservation to support the continued safeguarding of rare and endangered irises by joining the Historic Iris Preservation Society.
