Many thanks for useful comments Janis.  I've been meaning to ask, what happened to the Iris winkleri you found?  Is it growing okay for you?

Posting a picture of Katharine Hodgkin. These are not my plants. With the dark blue streaks they look like they are virused, are they? Thanks.

Very nice retics, Janis. I like 98-OO-2 -06 and 98-GZ-3-03 the most but they are all stunning.

I agree with Wim... all so unusual and wonderful to see Janis - 98-OO-2 -06 is sumptuous!

Very nice indeed Janis. If I get any nearly as good as those from my Alan McMurtrie seed I'll be well pleased.

Maggi, Janis thanks.

I was looking at Alan McMurtrie web site, when does he start selling 2010 harvest seed, thought I might order a few? Thanks.

Janis, such rich variation with those reticulatas... beautiful.  The red one (Iris reticulata JRRK-069 -02.JPG) is striking.  The other retic species are eye-catching beauties too, thanks for feasting our eyes.
