Maggi,

I went out to have a sniff of the Iris cycloglossa after reading your posting, but the flower had already closed.  All I could smell was the Dracunculus vulgaris that I have flowering in the back yard at the moment (Pong!! :-X).  Here's a couple of pics of the flower, just to show you some detail.  Slightly nibbled I notice in the pics, although it wasn't obvious on the flower when I was viewing it, but I think I was just too taken with actually flowering to notice any blemishes.  8)

Please click on the pic for a larger version.

Iris cycloglossa is one of my absolute favourites.... the scent , of course, is key.... but just look at that flower... even slightly chomped... is it not the most perfect shape and sublime colours?  Bliss, I tell you!

Fred,

If it sets seed I'll certainly sow it, although if it does its it's own doing and nothing that I've helped along.  I've grown one of the easy junos from seed once, so I have been successful with that.  Also a couple of the aril species.  I must try more of them, as I do so love irises.  ;D

Thanks for the responses everyone.

From a generous donator, Iris planifolia is flowering now in France, a bit later than in Spain of course  ;D
Growing in the Onco bed, so very bad for the picture, sorry for that.
Really nice flower, and what a smell !!!  ::) :o
