Flowering now Iris persica, http://flickr.com/photos/66380714@N06/… I believe. (I have not keyed it out.) Two reticulate Iris also in flower from Iran, with more on their way, a small form of the Iris rosenbachiana group has finished already. Also Colchicum hirsutum, Nerine pudica is nearly finished. Lots of growth as it has been a very mild winter here so far, - almost frost free! Peter UK
