Daring Deception is a bold, garden-arresting iris that blends high contrast and elegance. 35″ (89 cm), Midseason bloom. The standards are pure white with a subtle violet wash rising up the midribs, echoed in the style arms. The falls are plush violet, framed by a wide white band and flanked by white spray on either side of the beard. Beards are vivid tangerine, offering a bright punch at the center. A light fragrance adds an extra touch of allure. (Thomas Johnson, 2012). Honorable Mention, 2014; Award of Merit, 2016; Wister Medal, 2019; American Dykes Medal, 2021. Photo by Mid-America Gardens.
