They are really beautiful - like old fashioned hankies all scrumpled up.  ;D  We just have flag irises in the pond but would love to get some different ones.

Sadly no, only the last one, I. inominata. There is one so called Dutch Iris bulb and the rest were given to us by a friend when she was clearing out her garden.
