Looks like I might have goofed in labelling what I sent to Marcus - it looks like one of the Iris hermona hybrids that I grow.
Nothing like samaraie and lortetii as Hans link showed. Stunning photos of stunning plants. Thanks Hans for the link.

I have not seen an aril hybrid that I WOULD throw out - all are amazing when the light is coming through them showing up their fine dotting and veining.

Pat,

Yeah, the waiting can be excruciating, but it somehow makes the results even more exciting at times. ;D

All that promise in those buds.  Looking forward to seeing the pics when the flowers have opened.

Pat, will you be at the Vic Group of AGS talks on Sept 13th? If not, may I refer to you in absentia?

Lesley you are welcome to refer to me in absentia ( so long as you keep it polite) as I will not be in Vic for the meeting - am heading in that direction in November to the Heritage Roses in Australia conference where I am one of the workshop presenters. A few of us are travelling together and hope to visit a few nurseries on the way.
