Beautiful Greenish Yellow Standards on True Lemon Yellow Falls completely covered in Browish Speckling and Lovely Brown Veining, even through the Whitish Area on the Falls. Has a Real Standout Presence in the Garden. These Large, almost Plicata-like Whitish Areas on the Falls, and Beard, almost appear the Palest Sky Blue Color in the Sunlight, especially from a distance and between the veining, making it Quite Haunting and Beautiful, and a Favorite of Ours. This Iris is Currently carried by both Blue J Iris in NE, and Williamson's Flower Farm in TN. Another famous Tharp Iris 'Honey Chile' is carried by Superstition Iris in CA.
