Few very dark iris have depth of color, excellent form and substance, but in Pensive we find all three. It is a self of velvety blackish purple, with uniformity of color throughout. A cross of Sable x Deep Velvet, it has better branching, substance, and nonfading qualities than either of its parents. One of the most pleasing dark iris of recent years, and has been praised by many iris lovers. Heavy substanced flowers, good branching, and vigorous growth. 38 in. $15.00 Error: no images foundPlease do not enter images that are not your own without owners' permission, this is against Wiki policy "Although the Encyclopedia is free to all, it is supported by Emembership in AIS, If you would like to help sustain this reference, for $15 you can become an Emember, click here."
