How are your seedlings doing.  I am hoping more will bloom this year and maybe one might be special.quote.

Can anyone ID this reticulate Iris? My mother gave it to me last year as a DIY christmas thing, a few bulbs, compost and a bowl (with no drainage). After flowering I managed to lift the whole thing out and put in a normal pot and it's flowering again now.

Graeme, could be - but mine seems a bit darker than yours or other pictures I've found. Could it be Harmony?

Love the McMurtrie hybrids  I hope I still have some flowers when I return from Spain - with the warm weather they could easily all be over.

I hope this year some of my seedlings will flower - maybe a good one.

Arthur,

over here, they're popping up everywhere too, soon they'll have ended flowering by the end of January (when they normally start)  :-\

Show us some of yours when you're back from Spain!
