Canary Girls - Number 1 393/12 Vase

Against a honey-colour mist, Iris ‘Canary Girls’ grow organically from the base of the vase with primrose standards and falls. It is the beard on this bloom that provides added interest as the ruffled petals hold tips of gold against their fluffy-white petticoats. The design holds a remarkable flow, with every part of the flower pummelled and pulled into place around this challenging shape.

Bred by Fred Raines, one of the longest standing members of the West and Midlands Iris Group, joining in 1983, the Iris ‘Canary Girls’ honours the women who made the UK’s TNT shells of World War I, where, sadly, their skin turned yellow-orange after repeated exposure to TNT.
