Beauty Of Irises. Chaos Theory Macro 1 by Jenny Rainbow.

Macro photograph of unique looking Tall Bearded Iris 'Chaos Theory' (Barry Blyth, R. 2014). Trial garden of PruhoniceIris collection.
Prague, May, 2020

Standards none; style arms white; falls (6) mid violet, large white area around beards covering about 1/3 fall area, 3 top falls cover nearly all the lower 3; beards orange; flat form.

From Tempo Two catalog, 2015: CHAOS THEORY (Blyth 2015) . This is a real novelty for us: a flat Iris. So often flat Iris appear in the seedling rows and they are so unstable with form, reverting to a normal Tall Bearded. 'Total Chaos' is consistent, no standards, just 6 falls and 6 beards. Style arms are white and prominent, while the falls are mid violet with a large white area covering around 1/3 of the fall, spraying our like a starburst.

Flat Flowers - Return to Novelty Irises.
Generally the standards (inner flower segments) rise and the falls (outer flower segments) fall giving the appearance of a standard Iris flower. But in flat irises the standards present just as the falls and sometimes even have beards like the falls. This flower form is a novelty among bearded irises and also in siberians. It has become a standard of form in the Japanese and Iris laevigata such that they are generally referred to as 6 fall varieties. With that kind of acceptance they are not included here as a novelty but only those plants that present a japanese iris look on a otherwise different looking class.
