Iris reticulata and forms 2008
« on: January 10, 2008, 04:36:47 PM »
Not sure if this should be here or whether I should have started a new thread??
 Yes, let's have a page for I. reticulata and forms. M

Here is the first of my Iris reticulas to flower this season in my new bulb bed-Iris reticulata Gordon. Photo taken today quite late in the afternoon after the day's storms has passed Eastwards.

David,
quite advanced blossom your iris reticulata. My ones in the open garden are still sleepy and nothing is visible. It's pity the blossom of this speci is quite short.

Armin, all of my retics. were planted on the same day but I would say that the others are at least 2 weeks behind 'Gordon'.

Thanks Luc. I have some Iris danfordiae in the same bed that are only just beginning to show through the gravel, and I thought these were always thr first to flower.

Personally, I think it would be worthwhile starting a dedicated Iris reticulata page, as there are a lot of us that grow them and it would be nice to have them all together?
So that's what I've done! M

You are most welcome, Paul . And virtual chocolate is almost as good as the real thing, on account of the kind thought  :-*

Not much sign of any retic Irises here... bright enough today, but pretty cold and dampish.... should have bought some for pots. Tsk  :-\
Hang on, maybe I DO have some in pots... too cold to go out to look now... see if I remember tomorrow ???

Well, I've been out to search and no, I haven't any potted up.
Garden frozen... earliest signs of any Iris are of Iris Katherine Hodgkin are 12mm (half an inch) noses, bravely showing in sunniest part of garden!
