It doesn't show in that photo,but the blue one has 3 flowers.However,one of the flowers collapsed before opening.My Iris suaveolens,which was superb last year,nearly all the flowers collapsed.
Not enough in flower though Maggi,as it's our group show this Saturday and I keep looking at things,willing them on.
I've just seen you've mentioned our show in another thread.I was going to do this,so thank you.

That'll be the Essex AGS group show, Philip -
Saturday 25th April -The Essex Group has their local show on 25/04/15   Venue is New Village Hall, Church Road, Rawreth, nr. Wickford, SS11 8SH. Show will be open from 12 to 4pm and as well as the competitive show there will be plants for sale, a plant tombola, and refreshments available -

Hope its an enjoyable day for all - and that some of your show plants will "do their thing" on cue for you!

Showing is great fun but there is certainly some anxiety involved as the potential exhibitors sit watching their plant is expectation of buds opening - or flowers lasting!   Self-imposed torture  :-X

  Oh  bother, so it is - just the way of things with Iris, isn't it?  Some plants do so well for ages - Iris are such a hit or miss for timing.
