Here are 3 Dwarf Bearded Iris in flower in the Rock garden,
"Little Vamp"

"Tricks" (although Paul T has suggested this maybe "Making Eyes" so I'm open to correction)

And an unknown as it flowered from a pot with one label and two different flowers! I've since managed to lose the label, so need to dig through my old gardening diaries to find it!

cheers

Three little cuties Fermi !!!

Two shots of a yellow and white dwarf for identification - it does not usually have double the parts as shown here.

Pat,

That is quite fascinating that it is sending up multiple stems with the doubling effect.  I've seen them with an occasional flower like that, but that looks uniform this year at least.  I'm glad you mentioned it normally flowers in the usual form, or I would have thought you had something that was stable in that form, given that there are multiple stems looking the same.

[fermi de Sousa]

Pat,
that's a curious one. Can you show a close-up of the flower?
cheers

Some more DBIs;
Lesley suggested last year that this one is "Forest Glade"

The next is a poor shot of a rather cute one called "Knick Knack"

And the next is "Raspberry Jam"

An unnamed one in lilac,

a dark purple, possibly the same as "Raspberry jam" but from a different source,

And one that has an electric blue quality to it,

It's only the beginning of the season for these so expect a few more over the next couple of weeks!

A couple of shots of the yellow and white dwarf iris which needs a name and which had double the parts on part of the clump earlier.

[Paul T]

Pat,

You'd barely recognise them as the same thing.    So different with the doubling of parts etc.  Great to have the larger sized pics for detail too.  I would hazard that is a species or very old type by the shape of it.... to me it doesn't look like anything at all modern from a shape perspective.

Fermi,

Great pics.  Some nice ones in there, that is for sure.

[fermi de Sousa]

Pat,
thanks for the bigger pic of your unknown iris; it's not one that I've seen before. Perhaps Lesley or one of our other iris experts might have a clue? Did you get it from Robyn R in Northern Vic? ( I noticed that you called it Robyn's iris on the pic label)

Paul,
thanks and there are more to come!
Here are a couple without names, a maroon one,

and an "old gold"

cheers
