The arilbred irises are flowering in their frame 6 weeks earlier this year than they did last; I adore them but the succulent flower spikes are loved by snails more than I can believe. The yellow one is 'Domingo', very kindly given by a forumist, it's just beautiful but sadly not scented; unlike the purple 'Heimdall', which has a delightful fragrance. Also lightly scented is Matthiola scapifera.

Always early & will flower right through to the onset of winter.

I'm impressed - I  think of Erodium as being later season starters - now I know better, Thanks!
