Hi Lesley,
I'll have to look out for "Scribe", it's very nice.

This is the one you named last year as "Cherry Lavender"

All good Fermi, but "Jazzamatazz" is quite special and not only for the name...  ;D

Nice pics!  I grow Jazzmatazz myself, but it rarely looks as nice as I would like.  I think it prefers drier conditions as to where I have it planted.  Great looker, though.  Haven't been able to set a pod with it :-\.

I agree with Luc.....would love to grow it  - our dog is called Jazzy so it would be cool   8)

The 'Cherry Lavender' is right I think Fermi, but a bit washed out in that pic. Mine should be out in a few days. I see from the website above that quite a few of the new ones I bought last summer are listed as reblooming. Time will tell.

Here is 'Jelly Bean' and though I prefer red or white jelly beans to black, this little one is a honey and small enough for a sunny trough.

Two more out today in spite of yet further rain. It's pleasant out though between showers, not cold.

'Dark Note' is a standard dward bearded and is even deeper and more velvety than this suggests, a really lovely variety.

This one is 'Mist o' Pink,' a miniature dwarf and very pretty. I ordered this a couple of times years ago but was never sent the right plant. Good to have it now. This new plant has 8 flowering stems so it seems very prolific.

Both are lovely Lesley, it's so hard to choose as all of them have such character and presence whatever colour they are wearing, rain or shine  :D

Thanks for the input on the reblooming iris. It was very nice to here from so many.
I have been away so that explains my late reply.
Kind regards and thanks

'Cherry Lavender' is very nice, Fermi.  And of course 'Rebel', but I love the purples and blacks. 8)

I'm wondering if I've mis-led you Fermi about 'Cherry Lavender.' It is truly lavender with the cherry spot. Or is it just your pic that's washed out? Sorry. Mine's not out yet but will post a pic when it is.

These have been on the SH page but may as well post them here too.
