I'd give my right arm for a clump like those. It must be your drier climate?

David,

wonderful pics and those clumps of reticulate Irisses :o  :o

The Adonis is A. amurensis if it sets seed, if it doesn't, it's most probably Adonis 'Fukujukai'!

As David said, these were pictures of a friends garden yesterday afternoon after they had been here to see the snowdrops.  They have very kindly promised us some Iris-reticulata 'Pixie' as the clump needs splitting up ;D ;D

Very nice to see Ron 8)
Is your second crocus 'Ladykiller', and what's that reticulata cv with it?
