Joakim,

There are a few of the flat varieties now.... I also know of 'Flat Rate' and 'What a Mixture' but I'm sure there are others as we do get stuff later here in Australia unless it is bred here.  Glad someone is enjoying the pics..... I'm assuming by Lesley's comment that she doesn't like the different types...  which makes it worth posting them.  ;D  I won't have a lot of flowers to show as most of my tall bearded irises are recovering from a number of years in pots while I was ill.  Most are in teh ground recovering now, so the next couple of years will return them to their former beauty I hope.

Lesley, Best look away now....  More space ager and unusuals.....

33103-0
This is my favourite of the space agers I have seen so far.... Mesmeriser has large spoons below each beard, giving an almost double effect.  Lovely clean white, and a good performer to boot.

33105-1
Not sure even I like this one.... Total Chaos lives up to it's name.  Was sent as a freebie to a friend of mine who didn't want it.  I wanted to see one of the broken colour varieties in person before I decided for sure so I gave it a home.  Still not entirely decided, but will plant it out in the garden and see what it looks like as a clump.  Definitely different, but not sure that is in a good way!  ???

The word "virus" comes to mind.

Lesley,

It does, doesn't it!?  And yet my understanding of the broken colour irises is that they AREN'T virused.  If anyone out there knows for certain I would definitely like to hear from them.  In the majority of flowers this would definitely BE a virus, but there are genetic coloru breaks as well, except they are unusual to have in this striped/splashed form like these iris have.

We had a training course at the historic House and Garden at Buda in Castlemaine in Central Victoria and I took a couple of pics there. Here are a couple of TBI's.
33115-0

33117-1

33119-2

and a two-tone MBI:
33121-3

I think these would be old varieties dating back to the time of the original owners, about the late 19th Century.

Rather late to flower is a light blue DBI which I seem to recall might be named "Silent";
Here it is opening in the morning yesterday,
33642-0

and fully open in the evening:
33644-1

I can take no credit for the lovely, fresh quality of the following iris as they were shot in the garden of Roy Pavelin, a FCHS member who lives in Gladysdale, which I discovered is over 3 hours from where I live!
Many of these iris were named but I only discovered some of them!
Enjoy!
cheers

How about persuading Roy to come over in January. He did last time.

I was asked to put my Iris pics taken in the wild on Iris page. I see that this is an old topic, but I didn't want to start a new one just for these few images, so I put them here. :) I hope in a few weeks can also show you some Iris arenaria from the wild.
Enjoy.

Kathrine,
thanks for posting these pics!
It's wonderful to see them growing in the wild and in such variety.
