Grape Expectations

A stunning big iris flower which seemingly glows with ultraviolet light.  A highly unusual colour combination-it's difficult to describe just how luminescent that streak of violet is.  This iris was hyrbidised in the late 1990's and therefore represents fantastic value because it has everything a discerning gardener wants; size, health and striking colour.
