Very nice plant, Arthur!

Before boring you - here the last picture of Iris pamphylica - looks more like a bouquet than plants of a rockery...

Thanks Steve and Luc - thought about thinning out them a bit, even the stand is not as dense as it looks like on the picture, but as there are some little babies around I will not do that. As usual cutworms destroyed  every seedpod last year so I did not even try to harvest any seed - seems some seeds resisted the invasion. :)
Second picture shows how this group looked in 2009.

I've been keeping my head down since a few days ago when TonyG sowed a fine Iris reticulata grown from Alan McMurtrie seed which I had shared with both him and Arthur. The reason was that I have lost most of mine seedlings apart from one small potfull. One flowering, just!

Whey hey - at least you have this one.
I grow mine in with the crocuses and they seem to like the same treatment. Maybe your 'western' weather is not ideal, even under glass?

 :( I had just a couple of KH bulbs showing virus last year and quickly rogued them out. No signs this year, thankfully. However, I suspect virus is quite likely to be latent in all of them and might rear its head at some point. Is there anywhere one can get clean stock?
