Hi Pat,
yes, it's a nice little "beardie"
possibly I. lutescens as you suggest.
I'm surprised you have trouble with the PCIs - but they may need a bit of shade; we plant them under deciduous trees here.
I have a piece of that
Iris subbiflora x I. revoluta
that you showed last week,
but will have to move it if it grows as well as it does for you!
This is the first flower on
Iris subbiflora
grown from SRGC seedex 2004 (germinated 2006!)
This is
Iris taochia
(grown from Seedex as "Iris species ex Turkey")
This mite came as Iris attica but maybe
Iris suavolens
,
cheers
fermi

This below was given to me a few years ago as I. unguicularis 'Starker's Pink' which it is obviously not. I had this years ago as I. cretensis but local Iris Society people tell me it should be I. unguicularis 'Cretan Form' while I. cretensis is what I saw last week at Ferny Creek Hort Soc nursery (Otto or Fermi or someone there please do a picture and post it here. They were just in bud and I didn't take a photo.)
I'm still inclined to go with cretensis for this one but I'd welcome any opinions from Iris growers.
There is lots of pollen so I've pollinated each stigmatic lip but maybe it won't take on a single flower. I've just received seed from Marcus Harvey as I. cretensis so (I hope) time will tell what his is.

Fermi your camera takes the purple colour better than mine - see below.
Fermi the clumps of I. suaveolens next to the subbiflora x revoluta are very shaded and certainly getting elbowed out of the way so they will have to be moved or I take away half of the clump of subbiflora x revoluta.
I found Iris subbiflora flowering well today.
I know this is an iris thread but I am stretching it to Iridacaea - Gladiolus ....huttonii - redid the tag but did not record the name in my notebook and it is dark now so I can't check all the name.

Poor wee Iris sauveolons being elbowed out by the adjacent subbiflora x revoluta.
First flowers from seed from SIGNA of Iris japonica forms wild coll. in China.
I have been patiently waiting for these irises to flower. They were bought as lucky dip but were supposed to be irises that had been donated by a local iris seller back in the 1970s or thereabouts. Looks like the regular old white found in abundance on roadsides and old farms and the old purple also found in old gardens. Tuft as they come both of them.
Two shots of Iris pallida blooming from seed for the first time. I have several clones of this iris from seed from several sources over a few years. Simple and elegant.

Is this the Iris pallida from Harold mathes seed white x white? I have a pair of seedlings coming along if it is. The subbiflora is fantastic, I have aquired some this year so hopefully it will flower for me too. How much sun do you let japonica get? I think it is pretty tolerant but naturaly a forrest floor plant?

Peter the japonica is in the nursery which has shadecloth covering.
2006seed from Harald from 2 white clones vice versa for the pallida so yes it seems to be the same seed through the BIS.
I have some wonderful irises grown from seed from Harald so I am much indebted to Harald for many iris delights.

I agree with Arykana, so exquisitely held on each stalk like a gift offering as it opens each flower.
It's always such a pleasure to see the irises on these pages in all their glory in the garden or wild

An unlabelled Dutch iris, similar to the one Pat posted earlier, maybe "Wedgewood"?
"Bronze Queen"
A couple of PCI,
"Sahara Sunset"
and "Midnight"

Possibly Wedgewood says she who knows very little about the Dutch irises.
I have been talked into exhibiting at the South Australian Iris Show this weekend. Have selected a few species and some historic tbs and some arilbreds to take - if they don't blow before 6.30am Saturday for setup.
I will pick the rest in the morning and keep in a cool place till I head to Adelaide tomorrow night.

This is a new Dutch iris we got from the Drewitts in Silvan,
it's called "Acapulco"
And an old, old hybrid, "Golden Harvest"
This is what we have as Iris filifolia
This came as I. sikkimensis but is actually some sort of spuria, yes, a spurious sikkimensis!

Fermi, you have some cracking Irises but my first thought was that you didn't have I. filifolia (leaves much to broad), until I checked in Mathew.
"" .... 24-43cm in height with the leaves varying from almost thread like (var. filifolia) to broadly linear (var. latifolia).......""

I've posted some iris pics to a new thread about the FCHS Flower Festival:

In the garden a few new seedlings of PCI from seed from Diane W.
And Siberian iris "Bluebird"
