Iris reticulata harmony ?

Harmony or Joyce - both very similar, diference in flower tube, but not remember which one has blue and which one whitish. Too long ago I grew both and made some observations about differences between reticulata cultivars.

I always think it's a nice one Michael. I reckon mine will need another couple of weeks.
We should be so lucky! Much longer for us in Aberdeen.  :( Thanbk goodness for photos like this to share. Just seeing that colour makes  me feel better. So cold here!

Also here in Belgium, Maggi. Today, much sun, but barely above zero. At night, five degrees below.

First reticulata in the garden is this 'no label', possibly 'Gordon'.

This is the first flower from a pot of seed (allegedly of Armenian Caucasus origin) sown 7 years ago! Another flower is on the way so I've removed a stamen and popped it in the fridge. It is not as red as I was expecting but I'm not disappointed at all. Given I struggle to grow reticulatas at all I'm pleased with it. It is slightly less blue than the picture indicates.
