I bought bulbs of this Iris, this Autumn. I thought it was Spring flowering, obviously not!
Ps mine are in the garden border.

Thanks @Siris@Terratoonie@Green_finger!

The colour in this season is bluer than usual - perhaps due to the warmest December????

Strong colour possibly due to less daylight/strength of sunshine on the petals ?

I think you're right.....we haven't had much sunshine in London area for ages - warm but cloudy days only.....

That reason occurred to me because some clematis flowers are paler when in more sunshine/daylight.

Yes, I think you're right.....hope they will be good next year.
