Bearded Iris 2010

[Lvandelft]

Super Iris pictures from all of you

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.

trying to catch up some threads I found just your picture Armin.
I know there is since some years a Iris barbata nana Velvet Carpet in trade in Germany, which looks like your plant.

Hans J,
I will post a not particularly good photo of Braemar Station taken in NZ last November.
Also look up Iris Colorado - this is Lowell Baumunk's iris nursery. I am sure Lowell could verify the 'Petit Lion'

What is this lovely old tb that was just posted?

[Gail]

It looks similar to 'Benton Primrose', one of many irises introduced by the artist Sir Cedric Morris.  See http://historiciris.blogspot.com/2009/03/sir-cedric-morris-iris-collection.html

May be someone can help me with name of this beautiful very dwarf Iris from near Lake Van in NW of Asiatic Turkey? It is only 10 cm high, blooms very abundantly for the first time with me.

After a week of cold and rain, a few smaller iris have braved a flower.  'Tantara' is an older and still lovely SDB, while 'Trescols Fancy' was released last season.  A very clear an beautiful blue-violet with a slightly horned white beard.  Simply a charmer.  

The last is a hybrid from Harold Mathes from an (MTB x aphylla yellow) F2.  Nice, clear colour, good branching, but lacks a bit on form.  Could be a bit more robust, but i may have it too moist.  I will transfer it to the new rockery after bloom.

Looks like Iris attica, but as far as i know it isn't recorded from that area, the question is if it was introduced there.
Do you have a specific location?

It is very close to lake Abant (on road from Goynuk to Abant), some 30 km W from lake Abant. I suppose it could be suaveolens? What is your opinion?
