Waimea Canyon Sunrise

Waimea Canyon Sunrise (Larry Johnson, 2004) is a commanding tall bearded iris reaching 36" (91 cm), introduced by Cooley in 2005. This midseason bloom is a true garden showpiece, featuring luminous yellow standards and style arms that rise above rich lavender falls, each rimmed in tan with burnished tan shoulders. Vivid yellow beards add a radiant finishing touch. With its painterly color contrast and pedigree from Pheasant Feathers x Chasing Rainbows, Waimea Canyon Sunrise is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris—recognized with an Honorable Mention in 2007 and an Award of Merit in 2011. A memorable, field-stopping addition for collectors and landscape enthusiasts alike. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
