Grays Peak is a tall bearded iris that reflects the rich history of iris hybridization, tracing back 177 years to the iconic purple plicata Mme. Chereau crossed by Jean-Nicolas Lemon of France. This variety showcases a modern twist with purple plicata falls contrasted by standards featuring a unique color pattern developed in recent years. Purple markings highlight the midribs and dot the near-white standards, blending softly into ethereal buff edges. The style arms echo this palette. Deep blue-purple plicata borders frame milky white falls, evoking the majestic presence of Colorado's highest peak, Grays Peak, inspiring a profound sense of beauty and grandeur.
