Calico in Pink (Kimberly Rieniets, 2018) is a remarkable, late-blooming BB iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and refined form. Standing at 22″ (56 cm), this award-winning variety features standards in a luminous hermosa pink, accented by a French lilac center and heliotrope veining, with a champagne edge for added sophistication. The falls echo the hermosa pink ground, highlighted by a wide champagne edge and shoulder, while fiery red beards transition to pumpkin and verbena tones for a bold, color-forward finish. Fringed style arms and a slight sweet fragrance add to its garden-showpiece appeal. Honored with an Honorable Mention in 2022 and an Award of Merit in 2024, Calico in Pink is a collector-grade iris with undeniable presence and a memorable, gallery-worthy palette. Parentage unknown.
