Slovak Prince (Mego, 2002) TB FG HM AM WM

Slovak Prince is a richly colored tall bearded iris introduced by Anton Mego in 2002, blooming midseason at about 33 inches. White standards shaded orchid lavender with a fine gold rim rise above dramatic dark velvety blue-purple falls, accented by a lighter rim and a glowing white area around the gold beard veined in purple and brushed with brown. Lightly ruffled with a slight sweet fragrance, this striking Edith Wolford × Queen In Calico descendant earned Favorite Guest honors twice, along with Honorable Mention, Award of Merit, and the Wister Medal.
