Maggi, may I please have a definition of "bosker" to go along with "gobsmacked" and Banjaxed"?
I've heard of "bostin" too. Funny how some of these words get around in different guises - I believe bosker is used in Australia, too. Your damp Iris are charming. Iris are not really built for wet weather, are they ?
@ianare you shure about your Iris attica? i had one some years ago. i remember, that one distinguishing mark of attica is the long pedicel, longer than others e.g. mellita/suaveolens or reichenbachii. here a photo of my attica, but not shure whether this was correct (grown from seed labelled as attica). the long pedicel you can see also on this photo of attica on the signa-website. because of the long pedicel, the attica-flower snaps easily by bad weather/wind.
my patch of Trillium rivale was a potful of seedlings just planted outside in the garden.
