Thanks Alan and Paul, you are right. The plant is seed raised gathered at Hop Pass, SE Turkey. I wondered a bit but named it as it was labelled and forgot to chek it.

My first Iris bakeriana I have is a true one and fits well two Pauls picture. But it doesn't flower this year.

Very nice Ebbie. I think this was one that Janis found and he used to stock it but doesn't seem to be on his List now.

Maggi, if you're looking, on Iris reticulata March 2009 (reply 316) Chris (Hristo) had produced a 'montage' of reticluate Irises but it doesn't seem to be available now? It was a wonderful resource and if it is retrievable it might still be of use and interest to many.

Hello David - yes I see that the photo no longer enlarges. Not sure why. It is not possible to contact Hristo for a larger file size again - he is, at the moment, very ill, recovering from repeated surgery in the UK . We of course wish him all the best in his fight back to helath but it is not likely that he will be able to replace the file any time soon.
I will search my old files to see if I can locate a copy here.

Phew, that was a struggle! Found it though - here is a version which I will post as "forum size" and a larger one to enlarge if you wish is available from me via email.
Here is Hristo's compilation of reticulata Iris hybrids.....

First of all Maggi very many thanks for finding the time to sort this one out. Secondly, if you are in contact with Chris do please pass on my best wishes and tell him to keep on fighting.
