A clump open in the back garden - they could be 'Harmony', but they look bluer to me, so they might be just 'Iris reticulata' with no name.

I do too - I'm not sure if they spread, though. I buy a few more each year. :-)

Along with the chinadoxia, these are my favourite blue of spring. Can't wit for my nice Tete a tete daffs now.

Oops.....sorry Spritz (senior moment....lol)xx

I forgive you, Alsis. LOL. heehee.....
I think I've got Chionodoxa in, Toto - and Scilla sibirica. Both lovely, but later, aren't they? MUCH later this year :-(((

I know they don't last that long, but they seem to signal that spring is on its way...:-)))

I think Sprintz would be very apt for your speed around the garden, planting and weeding as you go, LOL.
20 Feb, 2010
True.....good thinking, Wagger! ;-)

My iris are swelling up ready to burst. They don't last very long in flower but they are so pretty.
25 Feb, 2010
No, Linda - they don't last long, but I still love to see them. it sounds as though you agree! :-)

I've got the very light blue ones and dark mauve. I'm a useless gardener as far as names go for plants. I just buy them because I like them........
25 Feb, 2010
My new tiny pots are called 'Cantab' and 'Springtime'. They're just about to open, so I'll take their pictures when they do. You might recognise yours from a photo, mightn't you!
