I showed a pic of my seed grown Iris sintenisii earlier this week but here's another of the whole group.

Also Iris latifolia. I had bought one bulb from Miniature Bulbs in 2008 and now have three-seems happy in my garden.

iris spuria ssp maritima grown from seed sown February 2008 and flowering for the first time.

Can't help too much Michael apart from I don't think it is Iris wilsonii which Brian Mathew says is yellow.

You know, I'm mellowing with age.... I am developing a tolerance for double flowers and the bigger , frillier flowers  of some Iris that I used to find over the top  I now regard as sweet and pretty.
I hope I don't mellow SO much I develop a taste for housework.  :-\

Beautifull flowers Erica - you have a wide range of bearded hybreds  :)
Michael am confused myself about the forms of both I germanica and pallida, both of which aparently have wide distributions and are acordingly variable.
Your seedling grown as Iris wilsonii is not pure wilsonii, I guess it is a hybred between wilsoinii and chrysographes. Wilsonii is yellow and quite distinct from forrestii, at least in the examples I have, being bigger with its stands held horizontaly rather than at 45' . This is a picture from last year, the plant originated from Edrom. If you PM me I will send you a piece if there is enough.

I took another trip this weekend, to Cheile Turzii, maybe one of the most botanised areas in România.
On the way there I found an interesting Iris ruthenica with 4 flower elements rather than 3, and plenty of Iris aphylla in flower. Unfortunatelly Iris humilis and Iris pumila (with all its forms described by Prodan) we already past flowering.
