Iris ensata 'Freckled Geisha'
2nd July 2008
A fascinating pale flowered form speckled with violet-purple. I have seen pictures with deeper margins to the petals, perhaps it is variable.
The AIS register says:
'Freckled Geisha' (Lorena Reid, R. 1980) 36" (91cm). Early midseason bloom. Ruffled white with hairline deep maroon edge, delicately sprinkled with mauve to wine
freckles, greenish gold signal, white style arms edged pale mauve. Seedling x 'Frilled Enchantment'. Laurie's Garden 1981.
