Nice plants Jamie and Fermi,
Flowering here now one of the seldom seen parents of many of the cultivated bearded hybrids, Iris variegata.

The Irises are looking wonderful at them moment in gardens and there are so many striking colour combinations with really beautiful postings here.  The shapes and colours emerging as they unfold are fascinating.  Hristo you have so many beauties....

Great shots from your allotment Peter 

Love your irises en masse Chris

Thanks Ragged Robin,
Iris variagata davidowii as I have been told the purple forms are called is now flowering with me, I have another form with white stands, they are better in the ground, - but this was a better flower

[PeterT]

This is my other purple form of Iris variagata, this time with white stands and a more compact flower

Peter they are fantastic i didn't know there was such variation with that species lovely

[PeterT]

and as reliable and rot proof as pallida but with better branching - no wonder the early hybridists grabbed them by their perianths

Here's the last to flower of my 50p lost label irises from Kelways.

[Ragged Robin]

A glorious end David -  Kelways has so many lost labels all over the world it seems....

Graham, you have some wonderful groups of dark flowering iris  

[Ragged Robin]

Wim, your irises are glorious colours, in particular I like:
Forgotten name 1 & 3 and Patina and Wild Yasmine are very different in colour and pattern - all gorgeous really

Hi Robin,
Thanks for the comments on both the bearded and the Chrysographes. I do like dark coloured and bold coloured plants, both blooms and leaves.

Lovely flowers everyone.  Here is 'Dusky Challenger' just opening for me.  It has a nice fruity fragrance.
