Moorcroft Limited Edition Ghost Train Vase

A lone Ghost Train ruffled dark iris stands out against a dark, ebony circle as if its darkness is simply diffusing into the roundel to exaggerate the bulbous neck of the vase and the incredible luxuriously smooth, black velvet petals of the flower itself. This nocturnal wonder was created from historic plants - Around Midnight and a Dykes Medal winner, Hello Darkness. First awarded in 1927, the Dykes Medal is the highest award of the American Iris Society, awarded to no more than one iris per year.
