Louisiana Iris - 'Avelline'

Louisiana Iris - 'Avelline'

R1997, John C. Taylor.  39", ML.  The registration describes the iris as having "marbled purple" standards with a darker center line and purple falls fading to lighter purple near the edges.  The narrow steeple signal is yellow.  Styles described in the registration as purple and grayed red.  I don't see this as purple. A unique color, more of a pinkish lavender.  Lightly ruffled. A favorite iris. Dancing Vogue x Dural Dreamtime.
