Miniature Iris
« on: February 11, 2011, 21:01 »
All my miniature irises are in full bloom just now - I'm sure they didn't come out till April last year.  Is this really too early for them, does anyone know?  It just doesn't seem right!

they should be out now - remember last year everything was really late cos of the prolonged snow and cold spell  ::)
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

Mine out in flower too & have been for a week or two.  I think this is the right time of the year for the miniature (reticulata) iris to flower as against the 'full size' iris. 

My book states: Iris reticulata - flowering time February-March.
                          Xiphium irises - flowering time June-July.
