Iris 'Perfection'

Inscription X Captive Sun

Semis (Offsprings)

It's a 2004 cross. i was a total novice then, i don't know what i did, or didn't do, but only one seedling survived the winter and the wet spring, and it was EITJE! Piece of cake: i didn't have to decide who would live and who would die,( which is the name of the game when you hybridize...).

EITJE means 'little egg', and that fits the colour range it has, but there is a second meaning to this word in Dutch, it also means 'easy', 'easily done'. So EITJE it was!

Pod & Pol fertile.

'Eitje'is available at Marianne Joosten's, in The Netherlands:

and in France, at Jean-Luc Gestreau's : www.ferme-des-iris.com/Catalogue/Creations-LOIC-TASQU.html

C'est un croisement de 2004. J' étais complètement novice, je ne sais pas ce que j'ai fait, ou pas fait, mais un seul semis a survécu à l'hiver et au printemps humide, et c'était EITJE ! Super facile: je nai pas eu a décider de qui vivrait ou qui mourrait, (ce qui est la règle du jeu en hybridation...).

EITJE veut dire "Petit Oeuf", ce qui correspond assez bien à ses couleurs, mais ce mot a un deuxième sens en Hollandais, il peut aussi signifier "facile", "facilement fait", "les doigts dans le nez" ! C'était donc le nom parfait!

Fertile dans les deux sens.

On peut se procurer 'Eitje' chez Marianne Joosten, aux Pays-Bas:

ainsi qu'en France, chez Jean-Luc Gestreau : www.ferme-des-iris.com/Catalogue/Creations-LOIC-TASQU.html

Since I have proclaimed February to be Iris month for our painting group, I decided to put up two more iris for members to paint, if they like. This may be downloaded by members for their use.

Join our group and paint with us!

Love these delicate flowers with their detailed markings

First White Iris on the Scene

I am not so much into flowers, but I have seen some splendid examples at Flickr. So I dedicate this flower to baby7, alfarman, Emily Quinton and Lucy Huntzinger. I like the delicate arteries and alsothe background wall is not bad.

I have a few iris plants in the backyard and photographed this bloom on May 21, 2017.

Deep blue and yellow, for me a beautiful and great combination.

My Iris are Blooming .....

I love these they always make me smile!

We had our first Iris flower in the garden yesterday, and I was impressed by the complex structure and color patters on the inside of the flower. So much beauty in such a simple life form. Photo was taken in Ottawa, Canada.
