Sorry I havnt been on as much I will have a catch up next rainy day ! wont be long ….
above “Miles Ahead”
This son of ‘Above the Clouds’ and ’Can’t Touch This’ boasts giant (16cm x 11 cm), amply ruffled flowers. White standards and ivory-white falls with a wide and sinuous light- to medium pure blue border.
Royal Snowcap (worth the wait)
An outstanding and aristocratic descendant of ‘Fit for a King’: Pure white standards and purplish plum coloured falls underlined by a narrow white edge. Stalks are tall with numerous flowers (average of 10 to 13 buds).

Royal Snowcap
two new photos above are of “Gypsy Lord”
Almost red, white and blue… Bluish white standards, broad and round deep blue-violet falls marbled with white, and a final touch: red beards on a white central spot. Tall stems with perfectly shaped flowers

They are beautiful. Such stunning blooms no wonder lots of them have 'Royal' in the name. Sad they are so fleeting, but I suppose it makes you appreciate them more.

Miles ahead is a cracker, and when I saw Royal Snowcap at the producer I thought it was beautiful. The lavender plicata is Prince Charming, a good doer and the yellow and white is Pinnacle, which hasn't flowered for me since I divided it, a couple of years ago. Thank you for showing us.

Agree with 3pb. "Miles Ahead" is a striking Iris though the others are lovely.

The latest opening is beautiful. I've another opened from Gombault today. Our Cadeaux, Frère, has multiplied it rhizomes, I've never seen such a rapid increaser. Has yours done well too? I'm going to have to put another pic of it on here.

Does nt matter you chose well its what catches your eye when looking to buy I find.
That's great so glad they survived the rain with in seconds hard rain can destroy most flowers which is a shame when it does but that's nature for you.
