Reticulate Iris-2013

[fermi de Sousa]

Fermi , the details for the Iris histrio var. aintabensis I gave you some years ago are : MT 4501 , col nr. Maras , Turkey .

     MT stands for Mathew & Tomlinson
 my plants flowered nearly 4 weeks ago .

Thanks, Otto,
I always forget the 4 at the start!
I was surprised to see a flower so long after the one you brought to the last meeting; it might be due to the conditions it's growing under here.

Fermi - I can see why Springtime and Clairette get confused. Below is what I have as Springtime. Does anyone here know what the difference should be between the two? The standards in my picture look more of a pale blue than Fermi's picture (his more purple-blue, but then it could be the lighting). My camera does have difficulty reproducing some of the borderline blue/ purple colours of some of the iris reticulatas. Photos of iris reticulata Edward that I took recently look completely different to what it looks like in person.

Jon,
I finally have 'Springtime' in bloom here,
looks pretty much like yours and maybe a little different to Clairette,
(but I don't think I can tell them apart!)
