KELWAYS

Oups! Been away so missed the latest posts. I'm slowly working my way round the garden dividing old clumps (it's been much too hot and dry recently) so there'll be plenty of spares. I'll try to update the photos in the gallery to give you both an idea of varieties. There are too many to list.
If there are any colours that you don't like, it would be easier to list them ;-)

 

Thanks @noisette47 . Are you going to list them on this thread? Would you like to do a swap maybe? I have quite a few Iris already but ALWAYS room for more Would you like to do a swap? I have things like Martagon Lilies and Lily Pyrenaicum which might be of interest and would post fine (Pyrenaicum bulbs are huge) or maybe if there are things you want just ask and I may well have.

 

Thanks,@silu , I wouldn't mind trying L martagon again now that I can provide some shade! But wait and see how much postage is likely to cost before committing....it's getting silly lately.
@ARMANDII that simplifies things...everything except Codicil Just don't complain to me that you don't know where to put them all! Will try to get parcels off to you both in the next couple of weeks, but bear with me.....my planning is getting more flexible by the month....

 

Obviously an "in" joke. Do I dare say that I would be more than happy to relieve you of some Codicil? Am I going to regret saying this?
Other bulbs I have which might be of interest, Galtonia, very large Alliums, flowers about the size of Grapefruits, also grow loads of Ensata Iris, have white with yellow flash (think the variety is Gold Bond). Think they like it quite wet but where mine grow may not be as dry as where you live but the ground is really pretty dry and they do fine. They are good from the point of view that they flower after the flags are finished, here anyway, so it extends the season of flowering Iris.
Agree postage can be hellish so if you would rather I just paid you the postage on what you may kindly send me rather than doing a swap, that's fine by me. Just a thought. I have loads of the Iris in the photo. No idea which variety. A huge clump was given to me by nuns would you believe, years ago. They told me the variety had been bred by a nun but whether this is true who knows....do nuns tell fibs ? Anyway it's a great doer, probably the strongest grower I have. Only slight drawback is it does grow tall and can suffer if it's very windy here when flowering.

 

I do hope that nuns don't fib..that would be another illusion shattered!
Armandii has just ordered/ received Codicil..hence the comment. It's not a very strong grower here but will see what I can find! I sowed seed of my ensata iris this year and have loads of little plants coming on. It will be interesting to see what the flowers turn out like. The parents are purple with a yellow flash and lilac/white striped. I grow them in the pond. Must cut and run now....spending too much time here and not enough watering / dividing iris
