I love that "Super Yellow", Pat!
Here's a MBI 'Jallab' - I'm not sure if it has any Aril ancestry but it's got a certain charm,
cheers

The last of the arils to flower are Iris kirkwoodii x Iris medwedewii plus 'xTadzhiki Bandit' ex LR France.
Both are really interesting blooms.
All the iris cross pods have their orange bag covers to retain seeds as the pods mature and open,  as I leave on Wednesday for London for the birth of a grandson.

Edit : to show kirkwoodii  is  listed as   Iris kirkwoodiae Chaudhary

Hi John,
Our Jallab looks a bit different to the one in your pic!
I wonder if they are the same plant or whether it's just "seasonal variation"!

Pat
That Iris kirkwoodiae x I. medwedewii x Tadzhiki Bandit is another stunner!
Safe travels and all the best for the new arrival
cheers
