Iris 'Frozen Planet' syn. Iris reticulata 'Frozen Planet'

Whereas these have been open a few days now. New variety, I’m quite liking them 😄💙🤍 #iris #iris-reticulata #irisreticulata #irisreticulatafrozenplanet

These more subtle ones are really lovely 🤍💙🤍

Those are fantastic! I haven’t seen these.

Beautiful soft colour

Thanks Kerry 🙏🏼 I wasn’t convinced at first although the OCD in me was telling me I should try them, and actually I’m glad I did. There are some lovely new ones about to hit the shelves soon in the U.K. over the next couple of years, different from the traditional blue and purple ones. I met the breeder of many of them a couple of years ago and he’s working with the dutch to bulk up supplies @kez001uk

Thank you Janet 😊 - can’t remember if this is one of Alan McMurtrie’s (Canadian breeder) hybrids or someone else’s, but it’s very nice. The buds are yellow before they open, so have a yellow/creamy base on these which you can’t see from above. @janetandjim

It’s lovely Elise - almost some colours as painted lady but without the streaks, colour is all pushed into the falls 💙🤍 @auricula

Thanks Diane 🙏🏼 certainly is and makes a change from the bold vivid ones @Diane051285

@richard.spicer.7906 I know that OCD pull only too well! 😜 oh that’s great to hear! The blues and purples are lovely but always nice to have something different from the norm 😋

I am familiar with Alan’s Hybridizing program. The Species Iris Group OT North America has had photos of iris in his Hybridizing programs. Wild greens, oranges, all gorgeous. At first I thought this was ‘Painted Lady’ but I like this more

You’ve got a lovely selection of Iris Richard! Beautiful flowers! 🌺

Thank you Nicola 😊 it’s a bit of a passion of mine this little reticulate iris @nix81

It’s a new one just opened... 💙🤍 #iris #irisreticulata #iris-reticulata #irisreticulatafrozenplanet 🌎 🥶

Gorgeous such delicate colours🤗

Appropriate name for February. Oops I'm mean January

That is so delicate and gorgeous

So delicate 😍

Thanks Enid 😊 was really pleased to see how it turned out, it’s first time I’ve had this variety @godfreye

Lol! Yes, although we’re needing more frozen weather. As much as I’m looking forward to everything opening, feel it will get caught out by colder Feb and March 😱 @lesliecole49

Thanks Deborah! 😊 it’s a new variety now available, I wasn’t sure if I’d like it but now it’s open it’s looking very crisp. @DeborahBanks

Thank you Sue 😊🙏🏼 @suerichards
