Does anyone happen to know which Iris this is? I'm assuming it's an
Iris!
For 2 or 3 years, we've had a clump of leaves in very scant soil on the
edge of a pond and this year we have flowers for the first time. It's
not
in the water, though it may get a bit of dampness if any splashes over
the
edge of the liner. It's obviously put itself there but we have no idea
how.

Could be Gerald Darby, (or a seedling from it)


Don't think so but thanks, Charlie. I think ours is a bit 'browner' than
that. Though, as you say, it could be a seedling. Btw, Clematis Luccombe
Park is flowering like a mad thing. Wonderful plant!

Is it Brown enough to be Holden Clough?

Clematis Lambton Park is a star isn't it, Late May to December in flower and
with seed heads until mid Feb most years
