And again, because she's so nice, Iris 'Katharine Hodgkin' in the rockgarden.

I agree with this quote Frankie. Mine is also flowering at the moment...
WHAT! Here she is not even out of the ground!  :(

Oh dear.... been raining down there too, has it?
 So many of these flowers take such a frightful battering in cold rain.  :'(

 If some folks abroad could see the soggy winter we have they'd understand why we Brits like to have some plants in pots under glass!
 One so often hears the North Americans say that they think we only grow that way because we have flower shows.... they don't seem to realise the part the weather plays in our love of alpine houses!

I'm sorry to here that. No rain here today, but it's going to rain the entire weekend...sometimes I really hate the Belgian climate.

To add colour to my post, some retics which were flowering here today:

Iris 'Cantab'
and 'Iris 'J.S. Dijt'

Fantastic KH Kris. So much nicer in the garden than in a pot, don't you think?
Have you been photoshopping Arthur? :D

One has to register to see this image. I tried that and three times was told I hadn't entered the letter image thingy correctly. My eyesight is still well up for that. They've managed to put me right off. >:(
