Stinking Iris (Iris foetidissima (Stinking Iris))

I don't think this smells otherwise I would not have put it behind the apperos seat. In the shade, has bright orange berries in Autumn.

I have the first one out at the moment. The berries are the highlight of this plant I think.

I like the flowers on this, especially against a dark green backdrop. Forgot to say called 'Citrina'.

The natural colour of foetidissima is bluey/grey.

Small flower, as Thorney says the bright orange seeds in a large pod are its feature.

Yes, Siris, after the slow start it is fine, but as you say no sign of flowers, which will be like the natural colour, a bonus when they come.
