Thanks Hristo, those retics all on one page are really useful for comparison.

Chris, can I query please, was it your intention to add other pics to your montage (ie from other Forumists plants)?

Can I also query your spelling please of Kuh-E-Abhr I have it as Kuh-E-Abr and that is the spelling used in The Rare Plants Catalogue.

I do like the McMurtrie retics. That dusty shade of violet is very attractive to me. Something to look forward to :)

Luit, your Weekly has disappeared off my notified list. I'll go looking again.

I'm not accusing you Luit. Far from it. My system has had a few glitches over recent weeks and I've mislain several regular topics. Nor can I find it in the Forum index. A Search for Weekly Lisse Flower Show has also been unproductive. Can you give me a link please?

David,
You are quite right of course, I'm afarid when I am in the 'zone' I forget to check my spelling!  ;D
Of course for a while i thought this clone was called; 'Cool its ABBA', so my spelling improves!  :D :D

Lesley you'll find it easy in Bulbs General, but here is the link as well:
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=2946.30

But I understand what you mean. I was searching this Topic of the year 2008 and it took me
several minutes to find it. But that was more because I did not type the exact words to search.
It might try to add a + when searching, like for instance type: Flower Show + Lisse.
Then at least you find some pages with Flower, Show and Lisse.

Chris, do the words 'cool' and 'Abba' belong in the same phrase? ;D

Thank you Luit. I hadn't caught up with the new, 2009 version of the Weekly Lisse Flower Show. I always find Forum searches difficult/frustrating. Anyway, I have it notified now. Love the very dark tulips. :)

Lovely Dirk. Your little I. danfordiae look much neater than the form currently available in the trade.

Dirk,

did you grow the I. danfordiae from seed?  Does this types tend to create bulbils and not bloom, as the commercial form?

The reticulata has a great clear colour!

Dirk - I love the second reticulata, lovely colouring!

David, realised I never answered your question, the answer is Yes, if people send me pics or post them here of named cultivars I will add them to the ID 'monatge' and then re-post the combination, I have added danfordiae for completeness, also 'our' trade Iris reticulata! There are still so many cultivars I don't have pics for! - Clairette, Natasha, Joyce, Pauline - to name but a few!

Jamie,
