Indeed it was, Jamus! I'm so pleased Fred was able to make  an adjustment - I had no idea that would be possible.  What a stunning colour  your reticulate Iris has   :o - I just love these little iris.

Maggi I knew enough to know that it was possible.

I love the reticulate irises too and I'd love to have some of the species and special ones I see in posts here. I'll be perusing the seed ex list in 2016.

Spotted this Pterostylis longifolia on a walk recently. The season for these winter flowering terrestrial orchids is under way. If it would stop raining I could get out and do some photography.

Jamus,

Pterostylis longiflia, what a fascinating terrestrial orchid. Maybe they are all fascinating.

Hopefully it will stop raining soon. I would love to see more of your native flora.

Maybe the land needs the water? ;)

I do read about severe fires in California, Robert.

Yes, it looks super Jamus. Is it 'Harmony'?

I see the price for 'Emerald Hughes' on the Blue Mountain website is $14.99 Not sure what that is at present in UK pounds, maybe about 6, our dollar at rock bottom at the moment, however when I bought my 3 about 5 years ago, they were potted and when I got them home found there were 4 or 5 bulbs in each pot :) and not a narcissus fly grub anywhere.

Yes Maggi, Reticulate Iris 'Harmony'. I noticed a flower on the 'Purple Gem' this morning as I went out the door on my way to work. They are a joy in this gloomy weather.
