Iris attica from Mt Parnassos.
-
What a beautiful little iris.
-
Two more Iris attica or Iris pumila ssp attica if you prefer. The green/yellow one is nicely scented.
-
Iris pumila 'Sudden Butterflies'
-
Iris pumila P002-14 (Armenian origin) and Iris pumila taurica P018-02 (Russian Caucasus)
-
Iris pumila seedling P011-02 ("clausii" X aequiloba)
-
Iris pumila 'Royal Wonder'
-
This one is from Jurasek seed, identified as Iris reichenbachii, although it better matches the description of Iris suaveolens. However, test crosses last year showed fair compatibility with 48-chromosome tetraploids, so it's a little perplexing.
-
Iris 'Blue Wind'
-
Iris pumila and Iris babadagica
-
I.suaveolens
I.babadagica
-
Iris pumila 'Little Drummer Boy'

SDB iris 'Abuzz with Charm'

I like 'Abuzz with Charm', but David's I.pumila is also very nice blue with nice beard. :)

Don't think this is reichenbachii.

An iris generally known as Iris arenia(humilis) has been in south Central Alaska for about 55 years. It looks like yours Luc. Has an amazing fragrance of carntations/cloves/pinks. Spreads by about 3" stolons to make a wide patch like typical "sand iris".
The individual flowers last a day, blooming in mass one day, then a few the next, then a mass the third day, and repeat. For about 10-14 days.
Another dwarf yellow iris there (maybe I. mandshcurica) is more gracile in all parts, more of a greenish yellow, has the scent of Viola odorata, and spreads much slower, but same short lived individual flowers.
Might yours, Kris, be a hybrid? A very good and hardy one indeed.

I never noticed the scent. I have other yellow Iris pumila and this one is different from them.
Like Jim said it has slow growth . I got it as Iris reichenbachii seed.

This iris was grown from SRGC Sdx 2004 as Iris subbiflora, but I was told it is not typical so may be a hybrid or some other species

A few of the species irises that have been flowering.
The first two I need a name as the tag has faded and I don't think I recorded the planting plan.
Iris bicapitata - I seem to have a few colour forms now.
Iris lutescens RBGG Aix en Province 308 from FD. Very small growing. First year flowering.
Iris subbiflora.
Loved you photo above Fermi.

I shudder to think David! Mind you, it won't get rust or virus and will live forever!

Ah well, as the song goes-"diamonds are a girl's best friend" ::)

I love the yellow irises in Pat's pictures above! :)
This is an old cultivar 'Flavescens', which does well here. It has been found here in old gardens and some years ago I got a name for this lemon scented iris. In the third picture in front of 'Flavescens' there is possibly 'Gracchus', also an old cultivar. I got it from a friend who had found it growing in the neglected garden of an abandoned old house.
