Iris early summer 2007
mark smyth:
The last Iris page is 14 pages so I'll start a new one for this coming season.
I spotted this in the green house today. I dont go in much these days except to water.
Iris suaveolens - two views
Possibly open tomorrow will be Iris taurica 26 days earlier than last year. It was open on May 2nd in 2006. I suppose being in the greenhouse did this but also covered in buds is I. attica, in the garde, that will also be 4 weeks early if the flowers open next week. Is anyone else finding the same for plants in the garden?
Maggi Young:
Absolutely super pix, Mark! Really shows the texture of the flowers and the fab hairy bits!
Wonderful mirroring of the colour of the anther and the beard.
mark smyth:
very observant of you.
I looked for this Iris using the search do da and it didnt come up. I wouldnt have posted the same plant that someone else has shown elsewhere. Oh well..
Paul T:
Wonderfully clear pics Mark. Great Stuff!! So much detail.

I bought an Iris suaveolens yesterday from Pounsley Plants http://www.pounsleyplants.com/ flowering had finished and I'm not sure whether to pot it and bring it into the greenhouse next Winter to flower or to plant it out in the garden? Any advice please?
Pounsley Plants took some finding even for a resident of these parts but was well worth looking for. Only small, but a lovely selection of stuff and the owner, Jane Hollow, is really helpful and nice to talk to. I had gone to buy Iris reichenbachii but she had lost her stock last winter. I now find that small growing Iris of any species are yet another obsession! ::)
