Unknown Iris
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. http://www.flickr.com/photos/93694401@N03/9231552032/ -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

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! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
