1. Iris species nova - Starweaver's Gems from Earth and Sky

438. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘DOWN TO EARTH’ (94-AT-2)
Magnificent rich dark brown on a yellow ground, nicely accented with blue-green
toned style arms that are tipped yellow-green. The various hues on the style arms give
it a mysterious quality. Its standards have been reduced to yellow-green hairs only 0.5
mm in width but of normal length. 10.00
439. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘ICE CREAM’ (97-CK-3)
A nice white with bold blue style ribs. The falls are slightly infused with soft yellow NEW
and a few blue dots. There are a few larger oblong dots around, and on, the yellow
ridge. The standards reduced to half height mm wide hairs.

440. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘JUMP FOR JOY’ (00-KV-1)
A lovely densely veined dark brown on a yellow background. The style arms are ol- NEW
ive green, softly infused purple along their edge. The lobes are yellow blended green
with brown veining. Its standards are reduced to short hairs due to its Iris danfordiae
breeding. A real delight.

441. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘MAKING OUT’ (95-CS-1)
This one is very slightly greenish shaded white with lemon yellow ridge on falls and
very sparse and narrow deep blue spots on sides. Style branches with large greenish
blue mid-zone well contrasting with other parts. Its standards have been reduced to
white hairs of normal length. 15.00
442. Iris danfordiae x Çat species ‘PARIS FLARE’ (94-FL-5)
A wonderfully unique looking reticulata. It’s purple in colour, with a pointed velvety
fall blade. You’d almost swear the blade was indeed made of purple velvet. The area
right around the fall ridge is darker, to the point of being black. The fall blade colour
appears solid; without the typical white beside the end of the ridge. 15.00
443. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae x Çat species ‘PASSION’ (98-PR-3)
A wonderful olive and yellow combination. Very unusual and striking. Its fall blade
is olive overlaid on a bright yellow ground, with typical white areas beside its yellow
ridge. This bright yellow and white area around the ridge contains numerous large olive
blotches. The style arms are olive infused purple, while the lobes are olive with a touch
of infusion around the edges. Its standards are reduced to hairs about 7 mm long. 15.00
444. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae x Çat species ‘REGAL’ (98-NP-9)
An indescribably gorgeous violet-blue. I’ve never quite seen anything like it before.
The style arm ribs are accented blue and have a white apex. The standards range between
½ to 2/3 of normal width and are respectively either pointed or cusped. 10.00
445. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae x Çat species ‘RUBY’ (98-NP-3)
Lovely ruby colour on a yellow background. Somewhat darker or more intense around
the fall ridge, with numerous large ruby blotches and veins filling the surrounding
yellow. The style arms are lighter with violet tones in the ribs. Its standards are hairlike.
Just brownish and pinkish shades ads special beauty to this flower. 10.00
446. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘SEA GREEN’ (97-CQ-1)
An amazing blue-green, with a hint of slightly darker veining. A yellow circle surrounds
the ridge, which is filled with large dark blue-green dots. The style arms are infused
with dark blue and plum while their lobes are similar to the fall. Normally we don’t
like if a colour fades, but in this case, just before the flowers finish, much of the yellow
comes out, leaving a lovely blue flower with only yellow surrounding the ridge. It’s
quite something to see some of these blue flowers beside their green counterparts. 15.00
