    Tall bearded iris 'Beyond Borders' is a 2012 introduction from Tasco. The color pattern of this iris is called "Emma Cook'. It has white standards and white falls richly banded blue violet It is an early bloomer in my garden and I like it. The pollen parent of 'Beyond Borders' is the popular award winning 'Queens Circle'. Nicely branched and increases well.
