Lovely varieties Shirl. I only have the bog standard yellow flag iris (with green/yellow leaves) and a very pretty soft purple/white one (Kermesina). But I do have some lovely fakir lilies that make a good show later in the year when most of the other flowers are finished.

just got the standard yellow one shere too. like the purple ones, will have to look out for them in future..

I will be splitting them later on in the year. All I ask is that you pay the postage which is around £2.00. and that is for around 10 plants

Yes please Shirl. Note me down or should I PM you my address? Just tell me how to send you the mailing charges. It will be lovely to add new colours to my pond.

They are lovely Shirl.  I too only have the yellow ones so would very much like to have any spare ones that you have left.  I could do a swap for a selection of tall bearded ones if you would like them.

Are all the irises shown in the picture actually in the pond or in a damp area? 

[shirlton]

All in the pond Pauline. Did you post a pic in the gallery not so long back

After flowering do you cut the dead flower heads off or just leave them?  I was given some last year and they have flowered well.  I have not grown them before.  Thanks.

[shirlton]

I cut the dead flower heads off mainly because they look untidy but I suppose it does the plant some good cos they don't have to use energy to produce seed

[tomatoada]

Thanks.  When it stops raining I will pop out and chop.
