Elainealope (Brad Kasperek, 1994) is a remarkable Tall Bearded Iris that commands attention with its painterly, color-forward blooms. This reblooming variety features a luminous light lavender ground (RHS 85D) dramatically splashed with rich reddish violet (84A), creating a graphic, high-contrast effect. The slightly flared falls and ruffled form add sculptural elegance, while antique gold beards tipped in lavender provide a refined finishing touch. Early midseason bloom and a slight sweet fragrance make Elainealope a memorable, exhibition-grade addition to any garden. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 1998, this Maria Tormena x Master Touch seedling is a true conversation-starter for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
