    "Opulent", "gorgeous", "magnificent", "an extravaganza of color" - iris lovers for decades have been babbling about the breath-taking beauty of "this jewel among irises." A spectacular blend of champagne, gold, chestnut, and an unbelievably rich, velvety plum, it's well named for the great Mughal emperor who built 777 gardens - and the Taj Mahal. Grow it yourself and we bet you'll soon be babbling about it, too!
