THE IRIDACEAE [IRIS] FAMILY - 2015

This looks like the original Iris Germanica to me. We used to have these growing everywhere around here.

 

Another one opened today.

 

As much as I like this Iris, its not what I ordered!

 

The first flower is opening...maybe it's pass the wine like yours @Lorea ?

And unknown Siberian, also from my yiayia.

 

It looks very similar Charlie. I love it!

 

Another unknown Bearded Iris...................

 

Iris chrysographs is outstanding.................


It is actually a bit darker in the flesh.

 

Love the colour Longk!

 

It really is better in the flesh Sheal!

First stem emerging on one of the ones you sent me!

 

I wonder which one that is?

 

The very, very pale blue one

 

Ah now! That shouldn't be happening. When I first planted this clump of Irises my brother gave me only a couple bloomed, so I assumed they were all going to be pink or purplish. This year a lot more have bloomed and there's a couple of pale blue ones in amongst them, so that's what you have got obviously. If I remember right, I sent you two from the same clump thinking you would get one pink and one purplish, it remains to be seen what the other one is.

Are you with me on all that?

'Little Chestnut' would have bloomed and be almost finished by now. 'Moonlight Waves' is summer flowering but took two years before it decided too. If you want me to put the pictures up again let me know?

 

I'm just basing it on the photos that you printed off and attached to the corresponding plant. I hope that I numbered the plants correctly

 

But I didn't knowingly send you a blue one. These are what you should have......

These two from the 'clump' instead of the blue. Late spring flowering.




'Little Chestnut', early spring flowering.


'Moonlight Waves', summer flowering.

 

Sheal,
Those top two are stunning
