Nothing unusual, but 'Katherine Hodgkin' is defying the dark, miserable weather.

Can't say I've done anything special with these, David. They're in the bulb frame and get the same treatment as the Narcissus. A few split up into smaller bulbs, which I've planted out, but even a few of these smaller ones have put up buds. They're nice to have at this time of year.

Kris,
I love brown iris and this one is delightful.
I presume it is one of Alan McMurtrie's?
cheers
