Luc,

quite wonderful flower and branching!  I hope you get some seed from it.  Is this the only clone you have?

I have a secound clone but still to young to flower.

Looks like a multiflowered I. reichenbachii  ;)

very nice pale yellow.
It flowers much higher than my I. reichenbachii clones, at the moment approx. 35cm high.

That's a great selection Chris. I specially like the very dark 'Grapelet.' Thought for a moment it was the same as Erica's little darkie, but perhaps not. 'Inscription' is lovely too.

The nicely branched I. taochia must offer opportunities for a race of little, chunky, branched irises, taller than the pumilas but much shorter than medians and talls, yet with terrific flower power.

nice one Luc, I'm hoping mine will flower this year. Do you have purpureobractea?

Hristo, it must look wonderful in your garden with all those gorgeous Iris flowering  8)

Grapelet is my favourite, too, and also Well Suited - the colours are just fantastic  :D

Lovely Iris images over the last week folks. Life is somewhat hectic in the Nicholson household at the moment and I have missed the flowering of my Iris suaveolens and a lovely dark form of I. lutescens (pics in 2011 I hope!). Here are a couple from the greenhouse today though and, yes, I've seen the aphids and they've gone to the great garden in the sky. Greenhouse is really showing a lack of attention at the moment :(

Iris reichenbachii from seed sown 14 January 2008; and a yellow form of Iris scachtii

Super Iris pictures from all of you :o

Current my Iris highlight - a dark blue I. pumila.
I accidentally saw and bought it from a local garden center 3 years ago. My initial excitement calmed down as it did'nt want to grow well and flower. But sometimes patience is required. Now my pleasure is even larger. :D

Armin,
I think your pumila blue is actually a hybrid.  The form and the flower stem are a bit extravagant for the true species, plus it is missing a spot, which is apparently always seen on wild pumilas.  In any case, a beautiful flower.
