Split seed pods of Iris foetidissima

I love this one - brilliant color

Yes, great for Autumn colour Paul...also deep green strappy evergreen leaves..

It sure is Janey - I just nominated you

Thank you Paul....the flowers are quite drab, yet close up very intricately marked..

Whoo lovely Janey, mine haven’t popped yet.

Punchy colour!

They are arent they!! X

A lovely bright show of autumn colour :o))

I must check mine, so lovely Janey

Wow. Janey... those are fascinating.. amazing structure and colour !
Did they produce the same again this year ?

Hi Tt, it is a very strange Iris, evergreen strappy leaves and a nondescript beige /brown flower in spring. Then when you've forgotten all about it, the seed pods pop and there are the most colourful things about it! The pods of these ones ripened early this year.... If you'd like a plant let me know..:))

Thanks Janey... the pods are fascinating...
I wonder whether the iris would thrive in my usually very dry soil ... does it need damp conditions ?

Yes they are very colourful. I have it in dry shade and also full sun, so I think it's happy wherever..xx

Hi Janey... thanks for reply.
I will send you a message. x x x
