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!

Chris, some Iris reticulata pics here to add to your montage:-

Joyce; Iris  hyrcana; hitrioides Angels Tears; Alida; Palm Springs; Halkis; Sewen Lake; Pauline; and what I grow as Clairette.

A most "harmonious" display, indeed!  ;D  The poor weather finished off all the reticulata types here  last week. :(

Hristo, I posted a pic of Natascha on page 17 of this thread.  You can us it in your montage if you wish.  I have some pics of 'Frank Elder'  which I hope to post before too long.

Two little beauties Dirk. According to Tony Hall at Kew, the wild form of I. danfordiae also breaks up but not so badly as the commercial form (so far as I remember that was his comment).

Biodiversite, what you show as I. hyrcana looks extremely like I. reticulata 'Natascha,' sometimes describes as a white reticulata, but in fact, very pale or "ice" blue with a strong orange signal.

I don't believe there's any difference between 'Angel's Tears' and 'Michael's Angel.'

I'm with Lesley on your Iris hyrcana Dom. Further up the page is a pic of what I'm growing as I. hyrcana.

I agree also in respect of no discernable difference between Angel's Tears and Michael's Angel.

Wow- when you see Iris and Crocus grown on that scale is there any wonder that people have mislabelled plants in their gardens? All it needs would be a few pips of different cultivars droppig into the soil and bulking up in with a different crop. The same with the Crocus too. I imagine they aren't harvested until after seed drop.

Simon, in the first year there will not be many seeds and if so the
seeds will be seeved out with the sand.
And this gardener does not grow on such a large scale, that he would need
big machines.
