Talking Smack

Talking Smack (Lynda Miller, R. 2020) is a remarkable Miniature Tall Bearded iris that commands attention with its saturated, dark purple standards and style arms, perfectly matched by equally rich falls accented with a few crisp white lines on the hafts. The medium tangerine beards add a vivid pop of contrast, making each early season bloom a true garden showpiece. With a commanding 20" (51 cm) stature, this exhibition-grade iris is both pedigree-worthy and visually arresting, earning an Exhibition Certificate in 2018 and an Honorable Mention in 2023. Bred from a distinguished lineage—('Stroke of Brilliance' x 'Juicy Tidbit') crossed with ('Raspberry Shocker' x 'Night Spirit')—Talking Smack is a collector-grade addition for those seeking a bold, color-forward statement in the spring landscape.
