The PBS pages are most useful in these hunts, I think http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/JunoIrises

I would however, be most interested to hear what Oron, Fred , Hans A and Peter T have to say on the matter.

As an aside - am I the only one who thinks the flowers in this year's plant look in  poor state? I presume they  may have just been at the stage of unfurling   but  they do look rather rough. 

[Matt T]

I agree Maggi. Many irises can often look good even as they unfurl, but it does no favours for this plant, which looks as though it could have done with another day or two the for the flowers to open fully and reach their peak.

[Dionysia]

Last year the plant did receive a certificate of merit whereas this year it was in a 3 pan which was unplaced. I agree, it was still unfurling.
