This is a pretty little reticulate Iris that Maggi bought some bulbs of at the Discussion Weekend. Have you ever looked carefully at these flowers ? My problem with these Iris is that while I can find the anthers with the pollen easily , you can see it in the picture, I am never sure where the stigma is to place the pollen onto to get seed - I guess I should ask a bee.

Rock Garden Iris (Iris reticulate) are great bulbs for naturalizing in rock gardens or borders, quickly producing offsets that multiply into generous drifts of color. These four to six-inch tall flowers start blooming in April and have upright inner petals and downward outer petals showing off a contrasting color on the petal spine.

Eremurus, also known as Desert Candles or Foxtail Lily, is a spectacular plant growing to three to four feet tall. The flower stems are covered for half their length in hundreds of small flowers from early May to June, opening from the bottom to the top and eventually giving the plant the look of a bottle brush or foxtail.

“They are extremely easy to grow, which should put them on the top of everyone’s list,” said Stack. “These bulbs prefer a sandy, well-drained soil that is in bright sun. Once planted, they like to remain undisturbed, making them good candidates for naturalization.”

For those who demand tulips in the spring, Stack noted that some offer the ability to perennialize and become almost permanent features in the garden.
