00-KV-3 was shown at the Monday Feb 2nd KAVB flower show.

The colour is more "red" than this picture would suggest



Here's a picture I took in the field in Holland last year.
They do loose the "redness" as the flowers age

That's a good one, lan - I like the rounded nature of the falls.

WOW! They are looking wonderful, fantastic wee plants for this time of year.
I had some Alan McMurtrie varieties from Janis a couple of years back, unfortunately I lost them when I moved last year.
Are there anyone who sells them for the UK as Janis doesn’t list them any more?

That's too bad, Ross :( I'm hoping Janis and Liga will add the irises on their list again.

It's a beautiful picture and flowers (as always), Steve :D

Not many people would realise that you can get three weeks' flower from an Iris , Kris -  when many are so very fleeting - your Coffee Brown is a good lesson!

I ordered seeds of a tulip a few years ago and got this instead, Iris histrio, flowering in the garden now.
