Spanish Armada

Spanish Armada (William & Ada Godfrey, 2003) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its painterly color contrasts and refined form. Early to midseason, this 12" (31 cm) standout unfurls luminous white standards edged in silver, complemented by sculptural white style arms. The falls are a vivid blue, boldly rimmed in white, with a dramatic white halo encircling the beard and a deep blue, heavily veined halo for extra visual impact. A crisp white centerline and white beards, accented with a flash of orange in the throat, add to its gallery-worthy appeal. Lightly ruffled petals and a sweet fragrance complete this captivating, pedigree-worthy bloom. Spanish Armada is a hybridizer’s dream, bred from Plymouth Hoe X (Inscription x Gypsy Passion), and introduced by Hermit Medlars Walk in 2003. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
