Sunshine and Shadows

Sunshine and Shadows (Elizabeth Rieniets, 2019) is a gallery-worthy Miniature Tall Bearded iris that delivers a bold, painterly impact in the late season garden. Standing at 19" (48 cm), this cultivar features rich mustard standards and matching style arms, accented by violet stigmas for a refined touch. The falls showcase an old gold ground, narrowly edged and washed with golden brown, with intricate mustard veining on the haft and shoulder—creating a graphic, veined effect. The beards are a dynamic blend: golden brown in the throat, with light blue-based hairs and tips shifting from light to dark antique gold, finished with a luxe, ruffled edge trim. Sunshine and Shadows is a true conversation-starter, offering a sculptural form, ruffled edges, and a vibrant, color-forward design. Bred from 'Private First Class' X unknown, this Constant Gardener 2020 field selection is a collector-grade bloom with pedigree and undeniable presence. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
