Discovered Treasure (Johnson, 2005) TB HM

Discovered Treasure (Thomas Johnson, 2005), Seedling T160B, is a tall bearded iris growing to approximately 38 inches and blooming midseason, offering layered color and refined detail in a lightly ruffled form. Standards are buff pink with a medium violet center flush across the lower two-thirds of each petal, echoed in the buff pink style arms, while the falls display a rich medium orchid-violet accented by an orange buff ground surrounding the beard; orange-brown beards with medium orchid-violet hairs at the base tipped in orange add depth and complexity. Bred from Chasing Rainbows × Kind Hearted and introduced by Mid-America in 2005, it earned Honorable Mention in 2008 and is prized for its sweet fragrance and intricate color blending.
