Some Iris' in my garden today :

1) I. suaveolens, incredibly floriferous - I counted over 35 flowers and buds on this samm plant !  :o
2 and 3) Iris taurica - barely started to flower, but a slug already got hold of it...  >:( ... I got hold of the slug afterwards..  ;D
4 and 5) a yellow form of Iris reichenbachii.

No I don't Art !  These are all out in the open without cover at all - they cope very well !  ;)

Good question Pat! As it is the first pumila to bloom here, I have no pollen to put on it and may never know! It produced nice pollen though, which I have duly harvested for use on the arils when they bloom.

A pseudoregelia for sure and my guess would be hookeriana (not to be confused with I. setosa hookeri) but I don't know the habitat so maybe I'm way off. Here is a picture of my I. hookeriana.

Tom can you use the pollen on itself with pumilas?

Pat, I know some pumilas at least will self, but it seemed wiser to save the pollen for my arils, there being just two blooms - and they chose to open on the windiest day of the year, poor things!

A few dwarfs that have started blooming.  The I. attica are from Tony and all from Delphi.  I'm doing some pollinating, so we will have seed , fingers crossed, for the SeedEx.
