Possibly not actually Katie as the first flower opened a few days ago but the pot has been in the cold frame (with the lid open) all winter so has had some protection @brightcolours

All good thanks Jacqueline, just waiting till Saturday and see what’s out and ready as dont get much time during week to look properly. I’ve had three varieties flower, did get Scent Sensational from Potterton’s last year so will be delighted to see the buds soon on those 😊

Excellent! I get so excited when they start to flower 💜 And I do love a specialist nursery, you can tell Pottertons are passionate about what they do @richard.spicer.7906

Their timing could have been better and they are definitely a bit raggedy around the ages but they survived the storm 💨💨💨💜 #iris-reticulata-scent-sational

It is a lovely one Jayne. A little larger than average and the second of mine to come into flower after ‘Spot On’ @jaynehynesburton

I thought I'd cheat in Autumn and plant some up in my greenhouse 🤣 Best laid plans and all that, not even a bud on any of them 🙄🤣

I’m sure they will bud soon. Mine were outside until it started getting very wet and some had been pulled out so I put them in the cold frame for safe-keeping. Maybe they like the cold 🤔 @jaynehynesburton

🤞🤞 Jacqueline, I’m dreading it. We could have gusts up to 70mph according to the forecast. It’s a long time since that happened down here 💨😱

Up here too. It’s already blowing a hooley! 💨💨💨 Nature’s way of clearing away the weak and diseased ready for all that new growth I guess... @pelly

So long as it doesn't blow the tree down that's just behind my back fence, it's huge 😱😱😂
