Iris lazica x I. unguicularis

Although I'm further south and west than Brian, and nearer the coast, my
Iris lazica is in flower as it will be, hopefully, on and off until June/
July. Having said that my Iris unguicularis didn't flower at all this year
(possibly because our summer last year was one of the wettest and dullest on
record. Winter here has been a long one (and possibly hasn't finished yet).

My Narcissus 'February Gold', which normally flowers in the month true to
it's name, has only just budded and might well be beaten to the finishing
line by N. 'Topolino'.

I had a beautiful Iris graeberiana in full and majestic flower last year by
the end of March but this year is showing only a couple of inches of growth.
