Mark, I totally ignored the instructions and planted it out in my gritty bed when I got home. There are some good leaves showing now but I think the plants were too small to flower this year anyway. I will decide what to do with it later in the summer.

Iris sari should kept dry in summer and winter but watered in autumn and spring - should.....
the saris I grow receive a lot of water in winter (rainseason) and it does not seam to be negative - one plant tends to be evergreen here and showed green leaves last year even in summer.
Luc, very beautyful form of I. reichenbachii!

Hi Rudi,
that Iris mellita looks very much like the one I was given as Iris attica, but which I'd presumed was Iris suavolens!
Do you know how to tell the difference?
cheers

Iris attica
is one of the forebears of the smallest dwarf beared hybrids and has similar short, upright foliage while
I. suaveolens
(syn
mellita
) has recurved, scimitar-like foliage. The flowers are similar yet different once you know them both.

I understand that it has been decided that the iris attica from around Delphi and I think Athens is now suaveolens.Does this mean there is no such thing as attica. Mellita is just a form of suaveolens.
