Iris, non-bearded, 2015

[krisderaeymaeker]

Agree that it is a good grower . Here it is flowering already from november on and more buds are there. 
Mine under that name come from Aberconwy and is the bi coloured one.

No problem steve, see you Saturday, hopefully if the weather isn't too bad, snowing down here at the moment.

John - Yes, see you at Wisley weather permitting. Bitterly cold here but no new snow thankfully. I think the east is forecast to get some, clearly already there in Lincolnshire!

Yes it is heavy in some places and more to come by the sounds of it, must be making up for last year

I wonder if Gerhard's plant is the same being shown in the UK as  Iris unguicularis 'Peloponnese snow' J&FK1024 - this photo from Rob C.  for the thread on the South Wales AGS show a couple of years ago :

I also wondered if J & FK is the same as F & JK  = Fritz and Josefa Kummert ?  I've emailed to Fritz and Sefi to ask.... 

Fritz was kind enough to help us out - It is the same plant - though there is an error, the collection number should be   F&JK 0124

It's useful to discover the names behind the initials. I had some C. hederifolium seed from the seedex last year with the collection number F&JK 97017, I can now amend my records to note that this was one of the Kummert's collections .

Iris grant-duffii - very nice Iris, unfortunately shy flowering here.

Even shyer here Hans, if fact it has gone the "way of all flesh "

The Iris unguicularis season has been exceptionally long this winter. Here's 'Abingdon Purple' on 8th February.

Our 91 year old neighbour has a nice patch of this Iris in her garden but cannot remember what it is.  It has been in flower for just a fortnight.  Any ideas gratefully received, it is slightly more violet than the pictures show.

[David Nicholson]

Iris lazica I think Brian.

[Brian Ellis]

Thanks David, I had also come to that decision

An iris that I bought in the Czech Republic in May 2013 flowering for the first time - I. songarica. Brian Mathew says that the soft greyish lavender-blue colouring is not very striking, but it is lovely none-the-less. This is growing in a trough but we must try it in a really dry spot in the garden. A lot more buds to open.
