Just got back to this one John. It seems Maggi has it covered.

Kids laugh at me too, and they're not even mine.

That's not too bad chris, the kids that laugh at me are, that makes it worse

Hi Maggi sorry to bring the photo issue up again, i've just used the srgc photo resizer to see what it was like. it all worked well till i clicked on the posted pics and they were all blurred. Did i go wrong somewhere? Thanks John

As I mentioned in he cyclamen thread, I see the pixelation problem when the photos are enlarged but I do not know the reason.

This is Iris unguicularis 'Purple Trinity,' an NZ raised form and registered, I think with AIS. It truly glows in the garden and seems to be free flowering, perhaps later than some other forms.

Raised from seed sent from Forumist Diane in Canada, a couple of different PCIs

Those are very nice Fermi. I think it takes a lot to beat a good clean, white iris.

 Season is just really beginning here, so hopefully will be able to post some pictures over coming weeks. And on Oct 10-12 I'm going up to Timaru for a "Dwarf Iris Safari" so there will be pics from there. Looking forward to a couple of days away.

Iris foettidissima showing off its berries. These should last awhile hopefully.

Nice colours Fermi. The newer PCs from the States (and from NZ) are stunning plants, maybe not all to everyone's taste in some cases but definitely spectacular with incredible colour combinations and large, frilly and flounced flowers.

[fermi de Sousa]

Lesley,
PCIs seem to do best here where they get a little shade or shelter at the base of a deciduous tree and we are fast running out of those places! This helps me curtail the coveting of more new ones
When Heidi Blyth ran a mail-order business I bought some of her new hybrids and this is one allocated  the number 8G LB,
cheers

Iris unguicularis ' Peloponnese Snow'  flowering at a rather strange moment ....

I growed in the open rockgarden in a crevice between two tufarocks .

In the morning the flowers are stil wet .....
