Talking Back

Talking Back (Thomas Johnson, 2022) is a remarkable MDB iris that commands attention with its radiant, color-forward blooms. Early to flower at just 7" (18 cm), this garden-showpiece features brilliant gold standards and style arms, contrasted by light yellow falls with a luminous cream center, bold gold hafts, and a dramatic edge overlaid with burgundy stripes and dots. Short burgundy lines add graphic flair below the vivid tangerine beards. Its sweet fragrance and painterly patterning make it a memorable addition to any border or collector’s bed. Bred from a pedigree of standout parents, Talking Back is a field-stopping, exhibition-grade iris that brings both charisma and refined beauty to the spring garden. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
