Thanks for that link Mik, some lovely things there and the prices seem very low in some cases. I wish..... Actually, I find we can import dormant bulbs from Holland from nurseries which use a MAF-approved growing scheme, and they don't need either a permit to import or a period of post entry quarantine. Still have to be acclimatized to the reversed seasons but where there's hope (and a hefty bank balance), there's, well, hope. But I'll have to brush up my (non existant) Dutch!

If properly stored (sealed and refrigerated, I think pollen should keep in good condition for several months. Some hybrids have been made between species which flower in autumn and in spring.

Hi Lesley
The great thing about Dutch is it is not too dissimilar to English and hooray for latin names! I've bookmarked the site to go and have a look when the first bulb catalogues drop onto the doormat this year - that should give time to save up. . .

That iris is great. How do you grow your retics? Are they all potted or can you also grow them outdoors?
cheers

That is a beautiful reticulata Dirk-is it scarce or generally available?

David, it [I. reticula 'Halkis'] is also available from the same supplier as I. reticula 'Kuh-e-Abr'.
That's where mine came from.

Did anyone buy the unlabelled Iris from John Amand at last week's bulb day? The name was on a sticker on the edge of the tray. If I had known how it would look in full flower I would have bought a few more pots

Mark, I'm hopeless at remembering these iris names, well, most names nowadays, so i have emailed Big John to ask him.

It is Iris 'Clairette'
