Rudi I must keep an eye out for seed of Iris pumila caerula - all lovely forms.
Luc what a beautiful clump.
Michael the first photo looks familiar but this fuzzy brain has no name coming.

The I. pumila v. caerulea is very similar to the SDB Iris 'Knick Knack.'

A yellow form of Iris reichenbachii. Yes, I saw the aphids, they are no more.

Thanks Dave.

Michael, I'd say it was a hybrid perhaps with some pumila blood in it. Lesley is pretty good at iding hybrids

Michael,

that's the one we both grow... I got it as a named SDB (Standard Dwarf Bearded) cultivar. Don't remember what the name was though!

Does "Eye of the Tiger" ring any bells?

Thanks Wim, I am not hard to confuse at the best of times, but those Bearded Iris really do a good job at confusing me. Don't think I will ever manage to sort them out.

Wim, having had another look I don't think it is either.

No, not 'Eye of the Tiger, and in fact, much nicer to my mind. I can't name it though as there are so many with similar colouring and marking. I would suggest it is Standard Dwarf Bearded rather than Miniature Dwarf Bearded, definitely a hybrid rather than true pumila species. Every breeder of dwarfs and his dog, will have produced something very like. Just enjoy it Michael. ;D
