Meleri 75/8 Vase

Bred by Maureen Foster, the Meleri iris simply glides down this Moorcroft edition as if the white standards, are the billowing sails of an ancient galleon, with its streaming pennants mimicking the bloom’s loganberry centreline as it sets sail across the Irish Sea. The falls hold a rich, mulberry border which washes over the standards above like waves dazzled by a setting sun in dreamy hot summer days.

Maureen lived in Crick Howell and often chose names with a Welsh connection for her irises. She and her husband Harry were instigators of the extensive use of irises in the Ebbw Vale Garden Festival, one of the National Garden Festivals in 1992. One of her irises 'Festival Crown' was chosen as the logo.
