For those interested in reticulata irises, there have been two recent
articles with coloured photographs that might be of interest. In the
Jan 2001 volume of "The Garden" of the RHS, there is an article called
Winter Blues with photographs of a number of species and varieties. The
BIS 2000 Year Book also has an article by Alan McMurtrie on the results
of his breeding programme with a photograph of a really beautiful
seedling 88-AX. This appears to be a breakthrough in colour in this
group as the flower is a lovely brick red-orange which is quite outside
the range of the usual blue-yellow-white combination that is normal in
the group.

garden and more snow is forecasted.
