Iris anguifuga,
An Iris I bought from Aberconway nurseries a couple of years ago. supposed to be I gionocarpa but it is nothing like the description in the book, more like section nepalensis. The seed came from China.
A spuria sown as "Iris orientalis all yellow self ex A McMurtrie" all the seedlings from this are aparently Iris orientalis with varying quantities of yellow, except for this one - it is half the size of Iris orientalis and ALL yellow.

Frazer I do love the first one especially - white standards and purpley-blue falls - looks like a lovely older one.

Flowering now Tony? Boy, that is late or is it just early?

I never thought about its flowering time. I see when it was grown in the greenhouse I photographed it on 23 rd May and so it is very late.
