I'm a rubbish photographer so this out of focus picture doesn't doe them justice - but they are stunning and the first things to bloom beautifully in our garden this winter - Feb 08.

You are very observant - I think it is a much under-rated plant - only beginning to realise that now really - this winter it has been the one plant that has stopped our garden looking completely bare.

Have to admit I've just cheated and bought four ready planted pot of Iris reticulata (only a £1 and about six or seven shoots in each) - I love the deep purple colour, so going to interplant them with some primrose.

I have tried to do this ( I have to start indoors, as I have snow until end of March, to mid April... only 4C here today) Did you leave this pot out for the entire winter? How cold do you get? I am zone 3.
What else?
See who else is growing Iris reticulata.
See who else has plants in genus Iris.

I see some over-wintering cineraria in the background..I think. I really like that stuff...it even survives snow and -20 C. I would love to be able to garden in Feb. lucky you.
