Siberian Iris: Trim the Velvet Schafer/Sacks 1995
Trim the Velvet - a Siberian Iris Back to Siberian Iris Master Page
  • Height: 40 in. (102 cm)
  • Season: Mid
  • Description: A tall stately cultivar, over 40 inches, with rich blue purple Standards & styles; falls are the same color with a white wire rim; small white signals with veined blue-purple; lightly ruffled; spectacular in the perennial border

    This flower is a very deep, velvety blue purple, so velvety that when viewed by the human eye it appears to absorb light, not reflect it.

    HOWEVER this color is proving to be difficult to photograph.

    At this time we present two images, the upper shows the form of the blossum but is much too light and too pink. The lower image was obtained by putting the blossum on a flat bed scanner. The depth of color is more accurately portrayed.

    These two pictures are of the same flower. For more info see this page
