Dear Brian, I may be able to help - unless holidays get in the way! My Iris sprengeri came into flower today and, judging by its bud, I suspect that I. iberica will be flowering in about a week's time. Having been gently feeling the bases of my Iris, I am totally confident that my I. sari has a bud, but it is not yet exposed. That suggests to me that it is likely to flower in about 3 weeks' time - but I am on holiday from 28 April until 9 May! Should it flower while I am here, I would be very pleased to let you have some pollen. My plant came from Plantworld Holland in 2019, but my records suggest that this will be its first flowering. I am based in Emsworth, Hampshire.

I have several pots of a collected form of Iris sari, but never get any seed. Anyone near me got another Iris sari? Please !!!!!!!! Brian Whyer.
