Iris

They are getting there... which ones are going to be the first to flower? It’s so exciting 🙃 #iris-reticulata

Cant wait to see the flowers!!! Great job!💚🌸🌸🌸

Grazie! They are fabulous little bulbs and very reliable 😊

😍

I love your labels, Jacqueline 😍 and your bulbs are great, too 🤣🤣😘

😂 Thanks Barbara @jacaranda

Trying to compare an imposter with the two other #iris-reticulata that are in flower at the moment. #iris-reticulata-harmony is in the foreground and #iris-reticulata-jsdijt is in the background with the rogue but beautiful one on the right 💜💛

Ooooh that one's velvety!!! 💜💜💜

It is and it’s a gorgeous warm purple but I’m not sure what it is. Any ideas Beck? 🤔 @mrsflowerpot

Urszula thought it might be Pixie or Palm Spring 🧐 @ublaszko @mrsflowerpot

Perhaps Pixie because it's a sport of Harmony but purple rather than blue

I'm wondering if it is either Iris 'Pixie' or simply Iris reticulata. It could be a hybrid of any combination of pairings though. Sometimes bits and bobs slip through the net to intrigue us! 💜💜💜💜💜

Goodness me Palm Springs is a beautiful variety though I will have to keep my eyes out for that one!! 💜💜💜💜

Thank you both. I may just have to get a few of each, in the interests of discovery of course 🧐 @ublaszko @mrsflowerpot

😂😂😂 👍 Of course, just for scientific purposes Jacqueline!!

I have posted pics of Pixie, it is similar

I think M&S had Palm Springs and I regret not getting it when I had the chance 😭 I planted Pixie last autumn and I think some are coming up and showing flowerbuds. But then again it could be any other variety I had planted there before... 😂 Already had a couple of Alida's this year 😁😁

All sounds very technical to me 🤔

And as for this little imposter 🧐 I have no idea what variety it is, which is a shame as it is rather lovely 💙💜 It’s a bit more purple than harmony and a bit more blue then J.S. Dijt... #iris #irisreticulata

A beauty. Wonderful colour!

Beautiful like velvet ☺️💙💙

Thanks Val. I think so too. It popped up in a pot of JS Dijt so I have no idea what it is 🤔 @valjones-hughes

It really is Pauline. So intense too 🥰@pauline33

It could be Pixie or Palm Spring. Have a look down this list and see what you think 😊 https://www.pottertons.co.uk/pott/browse.php?folder=221

Yowser!!

Thanks Urszula though that’s a dangerous website! 😉😂 @ublaszko

😂😍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I might have to get some and grow them to find out 👍😂 @ublaszko

I think I found out about that website from you 😂😂 I planted Pixie last autumn but still waiting for the flowers.

You may well have done. I bought several varieties from them a couple of years ago 😍 I love supporting specialist nurseries @ublaszko
