Wichita Falls

Wichita Falls (Z. Benson, deceased, by Mary M. Rhodes, 2018) is a gallery-worthy Tall Bearded iris that dazzles with its painterly standards, boldly broken in lilac and white. The ochre-gold style arms and lilac midrib add a luminous, refined accent, while the wide, dramatic falls echo the standards for a cohesive, sculptural effect. Light lavender beards provide a subtle, elegant highlight. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming midseason, this medal-winning novelty is a true conversation piece—perfect for collectors seeking a vivid, high-contrast centerpiece with undeniable visual impact.
