The name of the hybrid irises in the foreground is 'Undercurrent'. According to Schreiner's Gardens, "Undercurrent's dulcet colors strike a tantalizing chromatic chord. The light peach color of its standards is repeated as the color of a large blaze at the center of its muted heliotrope falls. An alluring sweet fragrance and firecracker red beards amplify the allure of this charmer, from the cross of Prince George X Rio."
I have use a little artistic license in this painting by 'planting' lavender I saw in Paris in the background. Imagine how lovely this garden smells!

Gorgeous. The detail in the iris is just amazing and I love the soft field of purple beyond - adds much depth to the painting.
