With me a week ago started to bloom WHITE CAUCASUS. All the time I'm waiting when it will become really white. But it still keeps bluish shade. Of course, it is whitest from all commercially available pure reticulata irises (some of Alan's crosses are much whiter, but they are not pure reticulatas), but I'm a little disappointed.On second picture you can see the real white one which such are from the first day of blooming - it I got from Zhirair, who found it in mountains.

JanisJanis, I share your disappointment. Mine is well over now but didn't loose the blue shade at all.
I believe there used to be a cultivar involving I winowgradowii and histroides major called 'Tantallon' which is described as white- blue -grey flowers
Quote I believe there used to be a cultivar involving I winowgradowii and histroides major called 'Tantallon' which is described as white- blue -grey flowersNever heard of such a plant, Peter. Made me curious though but all I find is this reference from http://www.jerseyiris.org/ais-index.txtWhere the plant is seemingly mentioned in issue 156, page 45.......156 45 B Tantallon
I'm a very new start gardener- year 3 commencing. I put in Iris Reticulata 2 years ago and had a a lovely show last spring. This year I have leaves but no flowers. Have I done something wrong?
