Reticulate Iris - 2016
« on: January 02, 2016, 11:14:46 AM »
Happy New Year all! Following advice last year it looks as if I've managed to rougue out the virused Katherine Hodgkin bulbs and this year there is no sign. Might be the early season but at least this year the blooms are unblemished.

Well done, Mark! She looks very clean. A few noses showing in my pot, so hopefully she'll be out for me too soon.

My mum gave me one of the DIY bulb kits last year - this year they are even better. No label of course - a member suggested "Alida" - it is however a bit darker than it's photo - maybe it could be Harmony?

I also have one Iris Pixie out - no sign of any other bulbs in that pot and a few well above the ground in pots and outside.

A few reticulate irises trying to flower here.  I had 3 flowers on 'Dance On' but they didn't open well.  This one appeared in a pot of 'Sunshine'  one of Alan McMurtrie's hybrids.  I sent Alan a pic and he identified it as Iris 'North Star' 00-BC-1 which is not due to be released till this year.  Another 3 showing colour in the pot look a deeper yellow so hopefully they are correct.  It is a pity Alan's hybrids can get mixed up even before they are on sale.

Iris 'North Star'   still waiting for 'Sunshine'  ;D

Aren't we all?

'North Star' is lovely, a not unwelcome surprise I hope, Roma?
