Again it is snowing, but I made some pictures of Alan McMurtrie's reticulata hybrids blooming now in greenhouse.............

I've a year or three to go but if I get anything half as good as those from my Alan McMurtrie seed I'll be well pleased.

Hello everybody ! I need your help for a lovely iris obtained as Iris aff. reticulata KMZ 9505, very small. For comparison, I show it with Iris zagrica (I think same origin as Hans' ones). What do you think about its identity ?
Iris pamphylica i just beginning.

That KMZ 9505 is lovely!


There has been a lot of discussion on here about virus. I was reading the award write-up for 'Gordon' in the December AGs bulletin and it states that stock of 'Gordon' is 'clean', unlike other cultivars. Yet the accompanying picture of Kew's award plant show suspicious signs of mottling if I look closely at the bracts sheathing the leaf bases... ::)

Perhaps I am imagining it or misinterpreting it?

I see the mottling you refer to in that photo, Darren... but I think that there tends to be mottling in most reticulate sheaths.....so that is a point I am not too sure on, it may just be a regular feature. :-\

I am a lot more concerned about striping in the flowers of show plants that are being pictured in show reports.... scary from my viewpoint!

Thank you for that Maggi and i hope that it is just a regular feature.  I agree with you about plants in the shows too.

This mottling in the sheathes also seems to 'fade' as the plants develop.

Last reticulata to flower here is Iris reticulata hort.
No cultivar name, but can be bought at times from garden centres.
Reliably the last reticulata to flower with me, always with very well developed leaves.
I love the colour and flower form, not so keen on the leaves, hey ho, 2 out of 3 ain't so bad!
