I'm not sure what's happening with my Dutch irises this year. This is supposed to be Lion King, it has been for the last three or four years. They haven't been moved and I've not amended the soil so it's a mystery. There are still a couple more to flower so I'll see what happens 🤔

Still lovely .. mine are very late😐

Thanks Julie. I'm actually quite upset about it as I really love the colours of Lion King. It's not like you to be behind me, some of mine are starting to go over now 💜 @juliesgarden

@pelly well mine is more shabby then chic Jane, l will show you in a bit. I had rhubarb in mine.

No I think the cold and wet did for a lot here 😢

Couldn't get mine to survive, although a random blue iris popped up this year, and I think some others are coming through, no idea what 🤷♂️

They will be a nice surprise I’m sure 👌
