Tall Bearded Iris 'Capicious' (Iris germanica (Orris))

Ordered Capricious last year, because I wanted one with spotted falls, not disappointed.

Have you seen the speckling on the falls of this one? Bathgate.

Yes, it's quite remarkable and the orange towards the center.

Already used the pollen from this flower. I would not use a first year plant as a mother plant, don't want to stress them.
