Marcus I don't think I sent you one that is similar.
Have found a photo that on first glance the name is not moldy.
This is possibly too big for Fermi's anyway

Hi Pat,
No you haven't and no its not the same. I have a feeling "mine" came from Otto (where else
). I kinda remember one occasion where we trouped around his garden, he with a trowl in hand, and came back to the house with an assortment of roots. In the flurry I most likely didn't get the name. I recall it was the same day as he gave me a lovely caramel coloured one, which I have firmly in my mind as "Capucchino". Fermi knows the correct name, something to do with coffee ... or maybe this indicates my fondness for the drink???!!
I have your McW-1-Super Yellow belting out of a pot with 6 flowers! Weather here not so kind to the arils this time around. Too cold and precocious, cold, warm, cold, warm, freezing, gale, zephyr .... you know the way it goes down here. Its a wonder the poor things put up with it, I barely can and this is my "country".
Cheers, Marcus

This bright orange DBI is a lovely gift to Will from an AGS member whose garden we visited last year, I think she gave the name as "Slang"
A floriferous MBI "Aqua Taj"

Some MBI, the first being "Orb" which is apparently an Aril-Med.
"Rebel
Heart
" (
editted to correct name
)
"Strawberry Love"
"Apricot Frosty"
"Devil's Playground"
And another I thought was the same as the above! I'll have to trawl through the diaries and see when I got that lot of irises!
cheers

More TBI are starting,
"Six Pack" - this has to be an Aussie name! - which Paul T has shown in previous years.
The first flowering of one we got form a work colleague, which I think she said is called "Barbara, My Love"
Can you tell it's growing amongst liliums?
"Silk Sari"
An old hybrid
A "modern" plicata
Possibly "Witches' Sabbath" which we have but I didn't think in this position! May've been moved during construction of the DSW.
cheers

We had one built for us this year; but the iris on the bank had to be dug up and re-planted,

Fermi,
Lovely pics! Witches Sabbath definitely looks right. Those fuzzy yellow beards are wonderful on the black background. Nice!! Others particularly of note are 'Cat's Eye', 'Rebel Heart', Tarheel Elf' (love the contrast) and 'Fairy Footsteps'. I saw the first two at an iris nursery open day recently (but they didn't have any to sell of either!
) and the FF I bought from our local Hort Show last year was obviously mislabeled as it ended up being yellow.
I had FF years ago which was why I was trying for it again.... the delicate tracery of pale blue plicata is gorgeous. I must prepare some pics of the dwarf iris I DID buy at the nursery when I was there.
Some very nice plants.
Lots of Iris in flower here at present too, plus a miriad other things. Thanks for showing us some of your wonderful collection.

Fermi,
Actually, the best time to divide iris is right after flowering. That is why the iris catalogues come out then. They produce the best roots then, establishing them best for summer and then preparing for flowering. When I was better organised (i.e younger and had more time) I always divided my iris in November/December and had brilliant results. I find that later you divide them, the less flowers you get next year from the remaining clump. I should also be able to send you an offset of 'Acid Print', which you asked me for last year or the year before when I posted a pic. It hasn't done brilliantly, but whereas it was down to a single fan a couple of years ago, I think it is now up to 4, so I'm happy to send you one. I have a feeling you might also like 'Webmaster' that I bought recently. Still sorting pics from the last couple of weeks. I have literally taken more than 500 pics at various places in the last 9 days. That will winnow down to half of that or less, then hopefully will post some.

Hello Fermi,
your 'An old hybrid' resembles cv. 'Don Juan' introduced by Ferdinand Cayeux 1928.
I have the same unknown hybrid in my garden and found a name accidentally today in the www.

Here's some Dwarf irises that I bought pots of at a recent open day at a nearby Iris nursery...
They're 'Frisk Me', 'Marksman', 'More Drama', 'Pele' and 'Webmaster'. All bar 'More Drama' were pots in flower, but the last one in flower had already been sold of that variety. A whole bunch of nice healthy fans in the pot though, so I don't mind too much.
Enjoy.

Here's just a few of the tall bearded irises in flower here at present....
Davis Seedling is a locally bred white. Excellent multiplication, and very, very floriferous with LOTS of buds on the flower stem. The guy who bred it refuses to name it though, so we just call it the Davis Seedling.
Also 'Blue View', 'Goldfinger' (a spage age iris, with gold horns), 'Living Free', and 'Thornbird' (another space ager... interesting colour combination, which I'm sure Lesley will detest.
)
Enjoy (well mostly, anyway)
