An iris that I bought in the Czech Republic in May 2013 flowering for the first time - I. songarica. Brian Mathew says that the soft greyish lavender-blue colouring is not very striking, but it is lovely none-the-less. ...

Quiet colouring but very elegant Tim.

Lots of Iris flowering now.

Iris siberica, an unidentified cultivar.

Iris sanguinea, I believe.

Iris versicolor var. kermessina.

Is this Iris spuria subsp. halophila?

Iris 'Holden Clough', an hybrid between Iris pseudacorus and Iris foetidissima.

I believe Gerald Darby should have black stems.

Iris setosa from SRGC seed exchange from wild collected seed one from Magadan in Russia and the other from Siberia.
The Siberian one is a bit taller and the Magadan one has more flowers on the stem

White form of Iris sibirica - love the markings on these :)
Two self sown seedlings flowering for the first time.  Iris chrysographes 'Black form'  was growing nearby so mabe crossed with one of the yellow forrestii types
Iris 'Broadleigh Carolyn'  I think this one has too much leaf for the amount of flower and the slugs seem to have taken a liking to it this year

Which raises a question from me about whether or not the foliage of PCIs can be/should be cut back in winter?
Any suggestions?

Iris setosa from Magadan flowering again.  The stems are about twice the height of the earlier ones.  There could be more than one clone in the clump as I did not separate the seedlings before planting out.

Very nice Roma. Are they always this late or is it mine that are always early?

This is the first year they have flowered for me, David.  They were grown from wild collected seed.  They flowered in June and set lots of seed.  I think there were a few seedlings in the pot but they were well tangled up by the time I potted them on so the one flowering now could be a different clone.  If you go back on this page you will see them flowering earlier.
