Have you bought any Iris specifically for the beards?
Or do you have some that have surprised you with how beautiful the combination of beard color and flower color are together?
Do you love horns, spoons or flounces?
I'm waiting for several I got this year to bloom. I have high expectations for several to be "beardalicious" next Spring.
Here are a few of my favorites from this year that are completely different.
'Concertina' is an IB with beautiful, horned blue beards.
'Paul Black' just wowed me with it's fat orange beards that contrasted so nicely with the dark purple flowers.
The spoons on 'Spooned Blaze' just make me smile. I think there's so much whimsy in it.
Which ones do you like?
