This regal flower puts on quite a show in the garden in early to mid-summer. It’s stately blooms range in color from traditional shades of purple and blue to yellow, white, pink, red, chartreuse, brown and nearly black. There is an iris to fit any occasion.
Iris is both the common and scientific name for these impressive flowers. There are 325 species and 50,000 registered varieties of irises.

Château de Vullierens, Switzerland
The most spectacular gardens and sculpture park form one of Switzerland’s most remarkable heritage sites with an incomparable 180° degree view of the Alps, Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva.
Doreen Bovet started almost 70 years ago, a collection unique in Europe. American, wife of one of the chatelains, she had a passion for irises. She started her collection in 1950: her first 5 irises came from Schreiner, a famous hybridizer of Swiss origin, settled across the Atlantic. Five years later, she opened her garden to the public: we marvel at this already exceptional collection of irises. For more than 60 years, it has continued to grow, and today there are more than 400 varieties presented and cultivated in a park of more than 2 hectares.

Irises
Everybody knows their huge flowers with their sophisticated, frilly shape, like no other. The wavy petals, three in number, stand upright in the center of the domed corolla; the richly colored sepals (also 3) also curve downward or spread almost horizontally in the newest varieties. The latter bear the beard: this colored hair attracts pollinating insects to the sexual organs of the corolla, well hidden between petals and sepals. This is where their Latin name comes from: Iris barbata (sometimes also called Iris germanica). They are also sometimes called “bearded iris”. Their leaves are sword-shaped, very robust, long and bluish-green. Some are scented: vanilla, citrus, orange blossom…
