This is a typical one grown over here

My little ones are just starting with 3 out yesterday. Will get pics shortly but already I'm pretty sure one of the new ones is wrongly named.

Fermi your Knick Knack is quite different from the one grown over here. This might have been discussed before

It's not that different - ours is probably jut a bit sunburned Misnaming of our cultivars is rife.
A few more,
"Lasanga"


"Lime Ruffles"


"Kiwi Slices"


And this one which came as something like "Coffee-Mocha" but is possibly GBM, but don't quote me on it!

I am enjoying these Iris pix and I'll just add a wee reminder to new readers that they can left click on the thumbnail pictures to enlarge them  

[fermi de Sousa]

I'm glad you are enjoying these, Maggi, as I have a few more!
This came labelled simply "Maroon"


This one is "Fairy Footsteps"


This purple one may be the same as "Raspberry Jam"


This rather bedraggled one is "Zounds" (unless I'm reading the wrong label, in which case it's "Wizard of Id")


Another one that doesn't quite match the label which says "Nimble Toes"


cheers

All little beauties Fermi, whatever they are called.

Fermi does the sun bleach flowers? Kiwi Slice is lovely

[Arykana]

lucky Fermy! nice collection

[fermi de Sousa]

Mark,
I think maybe ours isn't "Knick Knack" but it's close, maybe we can call it "Knick Knack Knock Off"
Erika,
thank you - we don't have a lot of the Tall bearded iris but grow as many of the DBIs as we can afford!
This one is "Facepaint"


I think Lesley said she thought this one might be "Forest Glade"


And she had a name for this one but I've forgotten it already!



cheers

[Lesley Cox]

I still think it is Fermi. It's an NZ raised plant so maybe not so well-known overseas.

I have several new ones out over a couple of days but the b..... weather is so foul that I can't take their pics. 'Scribe' and 'Sky Drops' are particularly nice, but the fact is, the damned sky IS dropping, in bucket loads so I'm cleaning out my "office" instead of gardening.

Like your 'Face Paint' Fermi.

[Lesley Cox]

Did I have a name for the last one? I wonder why as it's not familiar to me at all.

Sorry to confuse you, Lesley, it was another lilac grey with a maroon blotch that you identified!
Here are more unlabelled ones! This one is named for the donor "Helene's Bronze"


These two came from the one pot so we can't decided what to call either !


cheers

Great looking DB Iris. Kiwi Slice is available over here

[Lesley Cox]

The bronze is very nice Fermi, a relatively unusual colour in bearded irises, or at least that shade of bronze is unusual.

You had me worried there as I seem to forget a lot of smallish things recently. Apparently it's a side effect of general anaesthetic. My doc assures me it's NOT the big A. Not yet anyway. Whew, that's a relief.
