Intermediate Bearded Iris 'Dream Indigo'

Very nice Iris Siris ...

Gg

Only just finished inserting this one, you were quick Gg. An 'inner' photo, although the Iris is not new, but not a fast increased.

My lot are coming on a treat in the front garden , one of yours in the corner has produced 4 stems and the colour just staring to show in the buds ... Is it called a stem ? with dayliys its called a "scape" (no leaves except some modified leaves called bracts)

Gg

In a British book I have seen the stem called stem, also flower spike, in an American book, flower stalk, so anything goes?

Such a lovely colour . Did you know that the brown Iris use to be used for dyeing cloths or wool.

Lovely to see it like this.

3pb did you mean Bearded or brown, I knew Beardeds were used in dying, also perfume. (Orris root)

Brown Siris they are grown in a medieval garden here in Coventry for that very reason.

I have never heard of 'Brown Iris'. There are Beadeds with Brown flowers, are those in Coventry Beardeds, please 3pb?

Its flower when I visted the Medieval garden here was flowering Brown it said flag Iris use root to get colour Brown.

Thanks 3pb, I understand now. A bearded Iris is often called a Flag Iris, the one in the Medieval Garden, one with brown flowers. Nowadays all sorts of colours have been developed. I have several in tones of brown, but they are not flowering yet.

I shall look forward to seeing the rest of your Iris of any colour. I found it interesting you can dye with them.

3pb, You might become Irised out! Lol

Lol Siris I doubt it.?

I think I posted 68 different colours that flowered last year.

Wow I missed them .

I have been dead heading some of the Iris after the rain, the blue and purple ones have stained my fingers, really should wear gloves.

Yes you should or get some Sworfega.
