Iris japonica

lovely colours

Thats a pretty one !

Thank you Ladies!

very nice Meanie, i know the problem the snails are doing a number on my hardy orchids at the moment....

It's war out there SL!
Caught some trying to have a go at the Gloriosa when I got in!

nice one:) would look nice in my japanese corner, lol

It's a little fussy Kasy, and the flowers are proper slug caviar, but worth the effort in my opinion.

lovely colours:))))

Thanks Mark - common name is Orchid Iris.

Thanks Meanie - will see if it will be available somewhere:)

Another of the common names is Japanese Roof Iris..........

Oh this is beautiful Meanie............

that's a definitely 'a must have' now Meanie, lol

That's what the slugs think too Simbad!

It's a small flower HB, but a real gem in my eyes!

Very beautiful! I'm still having major problems with snails and slugs, also.

Thanks Delonix! The slimey critters are a real pain at the moment.

I know the feeling. The snails and slugs ate all the leaves on my Pachystachys lutea.

Coffee grounds seem to be doing a good job of protecting the plants in the ground Delonix.

Meanie:

That's a great idea! I should get some free coffee grounds from Starbuck's Coffee.

Just drink more coffee (it gives me an excuse anyway)!

I haven't drank a cup of coffee in more than 25 years.

Just having my second one of the day! I have cut down significantly though.
