Dwarf Iris "Harmony"

Dwarf Iris "Harmony" (Iris reticulata (Iris))

Okay, so I'm weak! I saw Dottydaisy's photo and then came across this in the garden centre today, so I bought it. When I got it it wasn't even close to opening - after three hours in the car with the heater on it was fully open!

Only one dissenting voice - it's a great photo, but 'Harmony' it aint. I think this little beauty is 'Purple Gem', Meanie.

I was going to say the same thing Spritz ..lol... I have a purple gem it's just coming into flower , this is it ! I put a pic of a 'Harmony ' on yesterday ... I have a problem with my camera in that it dosn't always show the differences between blue and purple very well ... ..

Strange, isn't it, Amy. My camera is the same. I get really frustrated sometimes, and wonder whether to raid my piggy bank and buy a better one - but that would mean a larger one, too - so not so convenient.

I have the same thoughts Barbara but I do like a neat camera that sits comfortably in my pocket or handbag .. ...

9 Feb, 2011

 

I agree. I did look at more expensive cameras, but they're so heavy and cumbersome - and they have so many features I'd need a degree in photography to use one! lol.

I think that this must be a rogue bulb - it is the only one.
If you're not into photography stick with a point and shoot. And you may be surprised at the increased performance of these with the latest sensors. My camera cost about the same secondhand as a good point and shoot.
