They look wonderful - and no virus in sight.  Who was the supplier?

Yes I am afraid I did start them off late, and I thought I would have to forfeit some of them because of it.  I was, shall we say distracted by other things :-[

Arthur

The local group of the Hardy plant society puts in a combined order to Peter Nijssen every year - hence the quantities. I paid:
Iris Reticulata Spring Time   50   for  2.75
Species Lily Lady Alice      10   for  9.00
Species Lily Mrs R O Backhouse   10   for 20.00

And an intriguing picture from me:
iris reticulata var. caucasica alba

a very rare wild form from our mountains

The there are some colour variations of iris reticulata growing here. The usual form is purple (diferent shades), though sometimes bicoloured, sky-blue and rarely magenta and whites coulod be found.

Zhirair,

What a delightful white retic.  There are people here on the forum who'd probably kill for a good white like that.  ;D  I'd probably be among them!!  ::)  I rather like the more slender species forms, but that white is particularly elegant.  Very nice to see it, thanks for posting the pic.
