Tall Bearded Iris: Is its color gilded gold? Amber Yellow? Or is it cadmium orange? The answer is all three and more. Here we have a radiant non-fading mellifluous color that varies in hue like a fall sunset as seen from Tumalo Falls in Central Oregon. The slightly ruffled flowers are average sized, crisply held and have good substance. Its most striking feature is the brilliant tangerine beards that literally glow as shown in our picture. .
