Windy Sea

Windy Sea (Elizabeth Rieniets, 2025) is a breathtaking Tall Bearded iris that radiates gallery-worthy elegance and color-forward artistry. Reaching 32" (81 cm), this cultivar features luminous, widely ruffled white standards that crown the bloom with sculptural finesse. The style arms are a refined blend of creamy lemon (#ffff66) and lavender purple (#967bb6), their fringed ends adding a couture-inspired touch. The falls are saturated blue violet (#8a2be2) with a crisp white ground at the center, overlaid by intricate blue violet veining and branching, while the petal edges are softly brushed with lavender purple and finished in undulating, ruffled waves. The beards ignite the heart of the flower with a dynamic gradient: burnt orange (#cc5500) at the throat, cadmium orange (#ed872d) through the middle, and a flash of cadmium yellow (#fff6000) at the tips. A slight sweet fragrance completes this remarkable, exhibition-grade bloom. Bred from 'Elderberry Pie' X unknown, Windy Sea is a true collector’s piece—majestic, painterly, and unforgettable. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Ruffled
