Iris reticulata

Hi you are lucky that is very early, great little plant

Already?? Wow Spritz, you are lucky. It's lovely.

Nice picture, looks like you stumbled upon it in a jungle!

Yes, it was half-buried in Solanum laxum leaves. They have been dropping off since the frost. The plant itself seems to have survived - and it's nearly time to cut it back. I just have to get round to clearing the leaves - gently and by hand, no raking, because there are little yellow crocuses poking through under there too.

I'm looking forward to seeing my new saffron crocuses flower. Shouldn't be long now and my camera's charged and ready :-)

Wow. Can't wait for my bulbs to start doing something. So far only a few crocus leaves poking through.

Hi Chris - welcome back! I hope your bulbs get growing soon. :-)

Wow that is lovely Spritz ... Lucky you ......

Rydeboyz , do you mean the real Saffron Crocuses that you can use for cooking ? ...... that,s interesting .......

That is one lovely Iris Spritz.....gorgeous colour....

A very exotic looking Iris you have there!

What an exotic Iris. I've just put some bulbs in on Sunday. They were a bargain 50p a bag! I hope they look 'something' like this, I'll be over the moon!

WOW!
Just lovely! I wish i had more success with iris bulbs in my garden. I guess they don't like the ground sort.
