LE BEAU, Georgia Hinkle's lush white, exhibits the characteristics we have come to expect in Georgia's iris: beauty, vigor, enchantment. The ruffled petals are so broad and so deftly fashioned they seem to have been molded by a sculptor's hand. Branching is classic perfection, and it is one of the best growers in our garden.
