I'll post a photo on my blog soon. Maybe if you contacted the national Iris Society they might be able to shed light on her name :) Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-66041158690819407652018-05-14T21:01:00.745+01:002018-05-14T21:01:00.745+01:00Edith is gorgeous, she sits so prettily in that bo...Edith is gorgeous, she sits so prettily in that border.

I bought lots of Iris reticulata this year for the early spring border in the middle garden - I'm not sure they could take the heat and wind of this washing line border. I think a little yellow iris might pop up as well near to Edith - I planted one from a bought pot a few years back - but this border is so dry that it might have given up!

I suppose all modern cultivars will eventually revert back over time but disappointing if you had a particular favourite. Or perhaps the purple ones are the strongest survivors?Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-50524109677403964052018-05-10T11:22:28.397+01:002018-05-10T11:22:28.397+01:00I wasn't aware of Iris confusa but have now lo...I wasn't aware of Iris confusa but have now looked it up (The Frustrated Gardener blog has a lovely post on it) and think this would be perfect at the back of the washing line border as it's shaded by the Cordyline australis 'trees'.

Not much of a help here as we only have reticulate in the garden but confusa would be a wonderful addition in the near future.Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.com
