Tobacco Chew blooms “pearl peach cream standards, slight tan edges; cream falls and amber hafts, yellow buff edges.”  The beards are purple at the end, reddish-orange in middle and darker red in throat.  Tips of the beards are elevated horns and occasionally spiked purple.  Tobacco Chew’s distinctively prominent wide and bushy red-orange beards are an unmistakable signature of this unique iris bloom.
