A nice little Iris lutescens yellow form (yes I know, it's a bit out of focus) that has sulked in a pot without flowering for a couple of years. I released it into the garden about six weeks ago.

Yes the iris would be much happier in the ground. While I can admire bonsai I do have a problem with the sense of human control.

I feel somewhat crass breaking in to this series of elegant species to post
some hybrids - unnamed seedling ones at that.

Seedlings of Air Show and Foothill Banner.

Mark,

Iris schachtii is branched, often with more than one branch. It can be 30 cm tall or so. Iris attica is extremely small, only one bloom per stem, ovary practically resting on the rhizome as in Iris pumila. It has diminutive, falcate foliage. About 10 cm tall at most.
