Wasn't sure where to post this picture. Saw this in a local antique shop. It has a wooden frame with embroidery on silk and is supposed to be 19th C. It is priced at Aus $395 so it is not on my shopping list but if I was given it............... ;)

What a beautifully worked screen, Pat. Very pretty.
 I've no idea what the exchange rate is but I'd expect it to be priced at about £200 in "our" money, maybe a little higher with the expectation of the ticket price being negotiable!

I would say so Maggi, but then again I'm no expert.

Iris subbiflora x Iris revoluta threatening to take over all the other species in this patch. It should be really stunning in a week. It should show up a bit more purple.

Two shots of Iris bicapitata ex BIS 07/11 c.Tony Willis Gargano Italy 2006s from HMT - I have tried selfing this species
This is a tiny plant - Iris lutescens ex BIS 11 2004s very dwarf ex Langrain France HMT - have tried to self this little one too
Iris pumila ex Gargano Italy ex BIS
Looks like Gargano would be a good place to visit as I seem to have a few Irises that have originated there.
Iris subbiflora x Iris revoluta - far too blue - should be purple.

Dutch iris - unknown name

Iris innominata from seed from D149 Monocot - a few photos
(looking at this species in the SIGNA database I think this must be wrong)

Iris bicapitata  a few photos

Iris pumila ex Gargano Italy

Really magnificent irises Pat.  Thank you for an amazing series. 
I'm puzzled by your I. innominata though because it looks very different to a Pacific Coast iris ???

What a pleasure to see them all free in the garden and thriving like this 8)

Pat,

it is certainly not I. innominata, but this confirms that seedlings I have are also not the species.  I realised that the foliage was much too soft and wide, but have no idea what I am growing.  Could be the same as yours.  I have a few misnamed species from exchanges coming along.  One was easy to ID as wrong, seed of I. darwasica without an aril!

I suspect yours and mine are simply pogon hybrids.  Pretty one you have, though.

As I can't seem to keep the Pacific Coast irises going here I have not their species names and looks ingrained in my mind - hence the big hiccup.
I too think it is a pogon of some sort. I will find my old listings from Monocot and look for a possible. Maybe the number got changed slightly over the years with fading tags or I looked at my planting plans the wrong way.
I am human afterall ;D
lutescens???
I am selfing these pogons to have seed for later or exchanges
