Maroon Tall Bearded Iris 'Coming Storm'
The editing of this iris photo increased the effect of its natural sonorous overtones as this bi-tone evokes the mood of an impending tempest. Its standards have a foreboding ashy lavender cast and its dark falls are a dusky purple edged with the same color as the standards. Large 4" x 6.5" flowers.
