Social Graces Bearded Iris (Keith Keppel, R. 2000)

The Social Graces Bearded Iris, hybridized by Keith Keppel in 2000, stands elegantly at 38 inches tall and features a stunning midseason to late bloom that will enhance any garden.

The standards are a lovely rosy lilac, complemented by style arms in a blended laelia pink. The falls showcase a captivating blended orchid pink, accented by creamy buff hafts and undertones, with a fine, slightly deeper orchid pink texture veining that adds depth and interest. The beards are a striking carnelian red, fading to pale melon at the ends, creating a vibrant contrast. The petals are ruffled and heavily laced, contributing to the iris's sophisticated appearance. Additionally, Social Graces offers a sweet fragrance, making it a delightful sensory experience.

This iris has received notable accolades, including an Honorable Mention in 2002 and the Award of Merit in 2004, highlighting its exceptional beauty and quality.
