Wim, David,

beautiful flowers!  I've yet to try one of the names clones, although i am raising some of his seed.  Although it may not be official yet, the cross sophenensis x danfordiae is often reffered to as I. x mcmurtriei.
I don't know if it has been published yet but I'm sure |Brian Mathew said a couple of years ago, it was to be published.

Can't find a reference to it in The Plant List or the Kew Check List.

Googling gave me this but I couldn't find the reference

Hans: I think IŽll never get tired of admiring your Iris collection! What a beauty that I. pamphylica! I love its linear shape and those contrasting colours!

I too like Hans prefer the species, but I am growing a significant number of McMutrie seedlings - hopeful those planted in 2006 may yield flowers this year.

Here are some specie iris.

A cracker Hans. When you get far more seedlings than you can cope with do please remember the "dribblers" in Belgium and Devon, UK ;D

In 2009 Dirk gave me 3 irises - danfordiae (non-horticultural form), histrioides var sophenensis and histrioides var sophenensis x danfordiae.  As a result of some sunshine and warmer weather last week, all 3 were in bloom.

The colour of both the sophenensis and the cross is too blue - it should be a 'dusky' purple.  Not sure how to correct on Photoshop/

Nice show Arthur. Just a word of caution though about the histrioides var. sophenensis from Dirk see

Hans,

your first pic is ... :o :o :o :o :P
I agree with janis, looks like in nature.
I still have to wait few years to get flowers from seedlings but it's worth the trouble !
