Sparks Fly

Sparks Fly is a remarkable SDB iris from Paul Black (2000) that commands attention with its bold, color-forward presence. Reaching 13" (33 cm) in midseason, this hybrid dazzles with cinnamon rose standards softly blended over yellow, luminous yellow style arms accented by plum brown midribs and crests, and plush, rich-toned brownish maroon falls. Old gold beards, transitioning from a white to violet base, add a dramatic finishing touch. Noteworthy for its pronounced spicy fragrance, Sparks Fly is a garden-showpiece with undeniable charisma and pedigree, bred from 'Pumpin' Iron' x 'Tweety Bird' and introduced by Mid-America in 2001. A must-have for collectors seeking a vibrant, memorable addition to their landscape.
