Neomarica caerulea - the plant is a bit bulky and prone to red spider mites. It spends the summer in the garden but this year it’s flowred for the first time. I think its stunning

Some lovely stuff here folks.

I can't speak for other Brits but it has really been a stonking Ipheion year this year in my garden. 'Froyle Mill', 'Jessie' and 'Charlotte Bishop' are just about over now (having started in late February) but the following are still doing well.

Ipheion 'Alberto Castillo'

663489-0

663491-1
