Mark, I have some seedlings from seed that Lesley kindly sent to me, that were sown on 14th April. I can spare a couple if that will help you but it will be a few weeks yet before they dry back.

Failing both those Mark, I can send you an established plant but of course you'd have to acclimatize it.

Thanks Lesley. Your DB Iris is doing well but has yet to flower.

Which will be why I haven't had an irate note from you Mark, as I have a nasty feeling I sent you the wrong one. When they flowered last spring (a year ago) the one I sent was in a different place from 'Grandma's Hat.' so you may have something else, but I'm not sure what. I can send GH later though.

Hell's Bell's, in that case I'm not sure what it will be. GH's leaves at maturity shouldn't be much more than 12-15 cms. After blooming, that is.
