I purchased some Duth Iris bulbs under the cultivar name of 'Rust', this is the frist one to flower, patently not 'Rust' but very pretty!

Dutch Iris are sometimes scorned as being "common" but in my eyes they are lovely colourful plants. Nice one Chris.

Already posted in the flowering now thread, but thought it belonged in here too :

in reality slightly darker blue than on the picture.

Must be a fancy name Chris, because as far I can see it is not registered under that name.
But is is a nice one!

David, I couldn't agree more, if you like Iris how can you fail to collect these bulbs?
Luit, don't ask me why but I had the name 'Royal Ensign' in my head as a cultivar that was blue and yellow, googled it and found nothing, so maybe just a dream......

Lovely Luc. I have about a dozen seedlings growing on and if any of them turn out to be as good as yours I shall be well pleased.

Here is a shot of a I. bastardi (pseudacorus x ensata).  I have no idea if it is a named clone or simply a seedling in the garden, as I do no recall ever ordering it, but it may have been a gift.

It is exquisite Jamie and reminiscent of the relatively new race of hybrids (sterile, unfortunately) bred by the Japanese, called "eye shadow" irises. I have none of these and we may not import them because pseudocorus is not merely "not permitted" but expressly prohibited as it can clog natural waterways, irrigation ditches etc and has done so in the North Island especially, causing a lot of damage.

Having said that, here are a few of these supremely lovely cultivars.

135539-0

135541-1

135543-2

135545-3

135547-4

135549-5

135551-6

135553-7

I think I showed some of these once before, prehaps a year or more. The pictures are from a Japanese Iris Soc journal, commemorating their 70th anniversary, if I remember rightly.

Wow, :o ,those are fabulous, Lesley,

I had seen a few others in Europe, but none with such definition and colouring.  I may have to do a few crosses this season.  Thanks for the inspiration.

I think these may have been achieved in a relatively difficult way. Would you like me to send a photocopy of the accompanying article which explains it all? And to anyone else interested? If so, send me postal addresses privately.

Lesley,

that would be most generous!  Especially as I can hardly see that 1) I would be able to procure a Japanese journal and 2) difficulty would slow me down!  Do you still have my address?

Indeed I do. I'll be on to it within a couple of days. The weather here is snow and hail today. I sincerely hope I can spend all of tomorrow huddled up by the fire, the dogs keeping my feet warm. :)
