Yosemite Sam

Yosemite Sam (Donald Spoon, 1999) is a gallery-worthy Tall Bearded iris that brings a dynamic, painterly presence to the garden. Reaching 34" (86 cm), this midseason to late bloomer features rose pink standards and style arms with tangerine infusions, while the falls showcase a rich rose pink base accented by a dramatic plum central spot and a rose pink centerline. A prominent white sunburst radiates around the vivid tangerine beard, creating a high-contrast, graphic effect. The ruffled, lightly laced petals add sculptural elegance, and a pronounced spicy fragrance completes its sensory appeal. With its Honorable Mention award in 2003 and notable parentage (Lorilee X Abigail Provides), Yosemite Sam is a collector-grade, exhibition-ready iris that stands out as a true landscape centerpiece. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Laced, Novelty, Ruffled, Space Age Awards: Honorable Mention
