Title: A little something I found today
Post by: Mark on May 05, 2013, 08:11:56 PM

We went to the local garden centre today, just for a little look and found the most beautiful plant I have seen for a long time. It is Iris tect. Cruella. A variegated Orchid Iris.......
I have never seen one before, so I quickly snapped it up and brought her home. I wanted to share her, so here she is

On a more serious note, the slugs love this one, and will tear up the leaves.

Must be a classy kind of garden centre your way if that is the sort of thing they stock Mark.

This is not Iris tectorum, but I. japonica.
