Domininque, you have an interesting collection. Have you noticed our I. histrioides major are the same? My I. reticulata forms are still not in flower.

Some Iris reticulata forms new to me this year
Iris Pixie a nice dark blue but it looks like something nibbled the flowers when in bud
Iris Kuh-e-Abr is quite nice, but supposed to be a unique blue in reticulata. I'm not sure it's so different from others.  I was expecting it to be almost turquoise.

I like Halkis very much - did you grow from seed or buy it?

Art, 'Halkis' is offered this year by Potterton & last year was  offered by Miniature Bulbs & Paul Christian. It was collected some years ago by Norman Stevens & the Dutch have since mass produced it. It is a very nice reticulata.

None of my Natasha are up this year and that's worrying. I have/had about 30

Diane, Andrew showed a picture of his on the Iris page, February 13 2007 reply 117. It may be tricks of the light but his looks darker than yours? At least you got a flower, mine rotted off.

Just had a look at Andrews on  http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=143.117
and I think his actually looks paler than mine (assuming the pic is below the text), but it looks like the sun is on his.  Alan McMurtrie's picture does look like mine so I suppose it's the right thing

Unfortunately some 'Halkis' being supplied looks infected with virus:
