Smoke And Thunder (Barry Blyth, 2005) is a truly memorable Tall Bearded Iris, celebrated for its extraordinary color play and refined edge trim. This late midseason standout reaches 38″ (97 cm), with standards that blend champagne, honey, and grey, touched by a subtle violet infusion at the midrib. The falls are a dynamic gradient of light red-violet, transitioning to violet and champagne at the edge, all framed by a distinctive 1/4″ imprecise grey border. The burnt tangerine beards add a bold, painterly accent, while the pronounced sweet fragrance elevates its garden presence. With its pedigree from Coffee Trader X (Twirl The Kilt x Brazilian Holiday), Smoke And Thunder is a garden-showpiece—vivid, color-forward, and field-stopping. A must-have for collectors seeking a bloom with both visual drama and captivating scent. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant
