I. reticulata has passed though many hands, with many selections; this is apparently 'Pixie'.
Iris reticulata flowers two weeks after I. danfordiae – given identical conditions in the greenhouse. It has quite a different character though: a lady in party finery compared with a cheerful country girl. In the house her scent is quite different, too: more elusive, less nocturnal, delicate and piercing like a violet’s.
