Looks like there are quite a few members who are trying to recover ;D
That camera was a heck of a good investment for all of us on the forum - being able to see such superb details.

Congratulations to Kew and amazingly well captured Hans - dare I suggest that you were obviously ahead of the queue?  ;D

Thanks - I am ok again ;) -without any doubt this was the largest Juno clump I have ever seen - does anybody know if the gardeners of Kew were teached in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? 8) ;)
Robbin, I also was surprised, but there was no queue and I nearly passed it, as my eyes seem to be trained in detecting much smaller plants... ::)

I didn't realise that this one flowered so late-Iris cycloglossa. Grown outside in a deep pot.

Iris cycloglossa was included in the  Gold NMedal winning display at the Aberdeen Show yesterday from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh. It is one of my favourite Iris, not least because of the delicious scent. :D

My first Juno for the year, and the first ever flowering of this for me.... a surprise as it was small and I didn't expect any flowers this year.  Very short, but I expect it will be taller in the future when it bulks up a bit!  Fascinating colour!!

Iris (Juno) 'Sindpers'

Congratulations, Paul, on your first Juno - I love the pale frilly petal with the yellow speckled 'tongue' - it certainly is a shorty!

Robin,

Yes, and it should BE this short.  Will remain to be seen whether it does this every year or not.  It is actually only the second Juno I have flowered, my first being last year.  Very pleased that they're doing well, and particularly that last year's 2 plants are growing again this year (which is a relief!  ;D)

Paul , your photo of I . x'Sindpers'is of much better quality than mine . even though we have the same camera . Perhaps you might like give me a few hints to improve mine .
Also flowering at the moment is the easy I. bucharica (yellow form)
the amazingly beautyful darkblue form of I. aucheri 'Shooting Star'
and I. nussairiensis alba - many thanks to Lesley

Otto,

Stunning pics.  Love that deep blue 'Shooting Star'.  :o  I must try bucharica again...... tried it a few times previously and killed it, but I have done far more research this time and I am succeeding with Junos now it would appear (at least so far).  ;D
