Telepathy

Telepathy (Keith Keppel, 2003) is a commanding tall bearded iris that delivers a gallery-worthy display in the early to midseason garden. This award-winning cultivar—Honorable Mention 2005, Award of Merit 2007—stands at an impressive 38" (97 cm), with painterly standards in lavender orchid that pale to agate grey at the edges, complemented by luminous white style arms with a faint lavender cast. The falls are saturated cotinga purple, enhanced by a velvet finish, a dramatic white luminata circle and veining, and a subtle apricot cream suffusion on the inner haft. The beards transition from white at the tips to yellow in the midsection and finish with a bold red in the throat, adding to its dynamic visual impact. Telepathy is further distinguished by a pronounced sweet fragrance, making it a memorable, collector-grade addition to any landscape. Bred from Fancy Dress x New Leaf, this iris is a true showpiece for the discerning gardener. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
