Screen Play

Screen Play (Keith Keppel, 1996) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly color palette and refined form. Early-blooming and reaching 38" (97 cm), this cultivar features standards awash in a near-solid suffusion of greyed rose orchid over a warm grey ground, complemented by rosy lavender style arms. The falls display a pinkish ivory base, dramatically edged with a 1" raisin purple plicata border, accented by soft pumpkin beards and a white base. Ruffled and elegant, Screen Play is a gallery-worthy, exhibition-grade iris with a pedigree from Film Festival x Storyline. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 1999, it is a standout addition for collectors and garden enthusiasts seeking a color-forward, conversation-starting centerpiece. No noted fragrance or reblooming. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fertile, Historic, Ruffled Awards: Honorable Mention
