Orinoco Flow 120/16 Vase

Without doubt, this design could be said to be Rachel Bishop’s finest floral design of all time. In much the same way as Enya’s Orinoco Flow, released in 1988, created an utterly new music style, which is characterized by slow rhythm, layering of harmonies, and simple lyrics with an ethereal quality, Orinoco Flow holds an avalanche of soft colours, layered in part to add depth, and holds you utterly beguiled. The prestigious ceramic vase is, however, named after the Orinoco Flow iris which was exhibited at the International Iris Competition in Florence, winning the Giardino di Collodi cup in 1992.

Iris 'Orinoco Flow' bursts into centre stage, erupting with glaucous green leaves and stems stylised in Art Nouveau ribbons and curves as a tidal wave of no less than six white flowers, showcasing standards and falls finely speckled with violet, a beard white, tipped zany-orange, and bordered with violet. In terms of colour and form choreography, the design is flawless.

Bred by Cy Bartlett, one of The West and Midlands Iris Group’s outstanding iris growers with three Dykes Medals to his credit, Cy also received numerous awards in the UK, USA and Florence. President of the BIS 1997 to 2000.
