Iris svetlanae this morning. They were grown as maracandica but Tony Hall has told me they are more like svetlanae.

Two junos from the rosenbachiana group, in my green house this morning. I find it hard to remember which is which species....

Very nice, the bucharica/vicaria is very early though!

A lot of things are early this year Peter with the mild winter we are having so far. I have a pot of I. bucharica outside which are already showing through the compost and in the greenhouse I. magnifica is well up and will flower soon.

Fred , a great joy to see your beautiful images of your expertly grown and flowered Junos - first choice has to be the exotic queen : I. edomensis.

Thank you Otto, I. edomensis is also my favourite one, but also the most difficult to grow here  :'(

I agree very much Ian! However, your lovely pink flushed Iris, I'm. Not sure if it is rosenbachiana or something else related

Some more junos in flower here... Two forms of what I believe to be Iris popovii, and a form of ? Iris nicholai from JJA seeds.
