Iris 'Saturday Night Live' is a stunning deep burgundy with yellow beards in mid to late season. The flowers are huge but have no fragrance. The branched stems stand 37 inches high. This is a tall bearded iris, which typically blooms after the dwarf irises but before the Japanese and Siberian Irises. In 1998 it was awarded Honorable Mention by the American Iris Society. Iris is the name of the Greek goddess of the rainbow. The classic 'Fleur de Lys' which has been a symbol of royalty throughout history was an adaptation of the iris flower.
