I've never counted them Luc, if I did it would worry me how much I've spent trying to get a reasonable collection together ;D There are still lots of gaps which might be helped next year when some seedlings may reach flowering size.

Irises flowering in my garden.
Pacific Coast Iris 'Broadleigh Carolyn', pretty colour, nice big flower but not enough of them.
Iris chrysographes 'Black Form'.  I think I got this many years ago from the late Jack crosland.
An Iris grown from seed at the Cruickshank  Garden in Aberdeen.  Probably a forrestii cross.  It lingered many years in a pot in my cold frame but has really taken off since planted out 2 years ago.

Roma,

your I. forrestii hybrid is wonderfully exotic.  Beautifully subtle colouring. Is it your own creation?

Great pics everyone.  I am very much starting to wonder about the Iris chrysographes "black form" as we have now had 3 I think totally different things under that name.  I like every one of them, but they barely even resemble each other.  I love all the pics though.  8)

Wonderful Irises both  Iris chrysographes black form and I. forrestii hybrid look magnificent in 'the wild' setting - this is a colour and height effect I could see working here on my sunny alpine slope - are they easily found in the UK?

Jamie,

At the Cruickshank Garden there were a number of irises growing together labelled forrestii, douglasiana and innominata.  Self-sown seedlings appeared which looked like forrestii but with different coloured flowers.

As far as I remember I collected seed off what I hoped was pure forrestii but finished up with this hybrid as well as a yellow one which may be a hybrid too.

Otto,

Yes please!!!!!!!!!!!  I'll give it another go.  Hopefully it'll do well, and I'll try growing some from seed too in case that helps.  The couple of times I have seen it in flower in person it has been "to die for", so I would love to get it growing successfully here.  Got to love black flowers.  ;)  Thank you!!

Anne,

they are both truly lovely.  I've never had success with I. forrestii.  The few times I've tried to raise them from seed, they always turn out to be something else.  Probably just as well.  I have no idea where to plant them!

Mine I. forrestii is also from seeds. I got just one lilac.

And the last one is truly lovely. Have never seen anything like it.
