Reticulate Iris - 2015

[Hans A.]

Thanks a lot Luc, Steve, Cyril and Ian!
Here it flowers earlier normally (around 15 of January) but this year everything is a bit later.
Ian, i am sure! ;-)

Another Iris zagrica in flower.

hi, I picked up a few pots from Garden centres the last week or so. One was supposed to be "George" - it isn't. The colour of the picture is reasonably true - maybe this is "Pixie" which I think is also doing the rounds. Any ideas anyone?

[Cyril L]

Hi Mark, I think you are right it looks very much like Pixie.  Here is a picture of my Iris Pixie taken a few years ago.

[Mark Griffiths]

thanks Cyril, certainly looks like it.

[Philip Walker]

An easy but nice one.

[Matt T]

Also easy but nice, especially up close and in detail:

'Katherine Hodgkin' flowering outside now too. These are from small offsets that I wasn't expecting to flower. Feeling guilty for relegating them to grow outside.

I love this wee I. reticulata hybrid growing in a trough. I think this one is 'Gordon'.

[Maggi Young]

Lovely pix Matt - glad someone's been getting that yellow thing in the sky......

[Matt T]

Yes, I was a bit taken aback at first Maggi, but eventually remembered that thing we used to call the sun. It has been a blissful day here, but I was stuck inside for a large part of it as I was working. I did cycle there and back though and to make up for it work did involve eating cheesecake and the best selection of baking you can imagine 

[Maggi Young]

Yeah, tough life that - but I'm confident you can cope......

I love this wee I. reticulata hybrid growing in a trough. I think this one is 'Gordon'.

Here's my pot of 'Gordon'. I know these garden centre varieties are common but lovely nonetheless on a dull February day.
