Lesley, I was pleased when they flowered and they were an incentive towards generating our own cultivars / hybrids.

David, nothing wrong with that Iris, you don't get much for 50p these days, that was 50p well invested!

Slighhtly more than 50p, DBI 'Well Suited' from Cayeaux Iris, first time flowering for me here in Bulgaria.

I'm pleased to see 'Well Suited." It's one I've bought this summer. I'm a little surprised (but pleased) to see that it's from Cayeaux. I didn't realize NZ growers were importing from France as well as (mainly) the USA and Australia. We are more likely to get very dwarf forms from there than from the USA where the breeders are largely in warmer climates, California, etc.

Thanks Jamie, looks like a good candidate.
Lesley, 'Well Suited' is a lttile dazzler, in the flesh it looks like it is made of a good quality velvet. Simon has been crossing it onto some Onco - Regilias and other beardies!

Lesley,

The Aussie growers sell quite a few from Cayeux, so could have come from Australia anyway (if you know what I mean).

Here are the latest bearded iris to flower, sadly all lost names except the Iris germanica 'albicans' which was bought from a presumed reliable source but does not look right in flower or growth form.

Hi Paul,
It's a fab colour, if you ever saw the metal foil wrapping off a bar of Cadburys chocolate, that's what it reminds me of, that or some of the colours you get from spilling petrol on water!
P.s... hope the flu clears up soon.....

I used to have a median iris called 'Novella' that I think was a similar colour.  Shame I lost it.  Absolutely electric!

Feeling better today thankfully, so hopefully flu will go for good this time. ;D

Hi Paul,
Glad you're feeling better, though I guess it's a good chance to go read up on all the forum threads!
