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.....

12-IO-1 on March 20


and on March 22


11-FB-3 a lovely white with blue accents.  It is also a reasonable size.


11-HE-1 is also quite nice


11-DA-1 is a nice colour, but unfortunately it will be looked down upon as simply a blue / purple.  It is also a matter of how nice it looks from year to year

An "old one" that has reappeared -- 97-AG-1


Another "old one" that has reappeared which I quite liked, but was rejected -- 96-BN-1
This was the first of the colour pattern "Spotted light blue-green" to appear occasionally from back crosses to danfordiae


11-HU-2


Last year's 10-CK-7 looking quite nice


11-IL-1 with cells torn off the upper layer of one fall
