RE: 'Swerti' spelling

 

Hi Lisolette
I live about an 8 hour drive pretty much straight across to the east through country South Australia and Victoria
About 90 ks NNE of Adelaide and Robyn lives NE Victoria toward the border with NSW.
When we were much younger and did not know each other we lived a few ks away from each other in the Adelaide Hills.

Hi Pat,

Thank you! I thought as much. Your name sounded familiar and then I realized that Robyn must have mentioned it. How far apart do you live?

Hi Liselotte,
 
Yes Robyn is a great personal and iris friend. We share our iris passion and plants as she lives in a similar climatic situation but slightly damper and cooler than here.

Hi Pat,

Your iris is just lovely, thank you for sharing! Unfortunately bearded iris do not like our cool and moist climate and I now grow moisture loving irises. However, some PCNs will survive here under special growing conditions. 

When I saw your address, I thought of Robyn, you must know her. It was such a pleasure to meet Robyn here in Switzerland!

This old cultivar seems related to the iris in discussion. We know it as 'Manon' here in South Australia. To me it is a miniature tall bearded so Iris pallida in the background makes sense. Very elegant and tall with thin stems and small flowers.
