Summary[edit] Description: Another shot of this Iris just about to flower. The flower stems and bracts are shaded with a dusky purple. Date: 5 June 2010, 11:35. Source: Iris x robusta Gerald Darby buds. Author: peganum from Small Dole, England.
First flowering from SIGNA seed. They weren't sure but it certainly looks like delavayi to me. I hadn't realised how much the flowers of this species stand out above the foliage. Very elegant
