We found a wonderful patch of these baby iris whilst driving from Montejaque to Benaojan on the weekend.  I couldn’t believe it!  Out the window was this little flash of blue amongst the grass.  Phil didn’t believe me.  He thought it was another mass of Muscari.   Normally you’d be thrilled with a mass of Muscari, but Muscari has become “old hat”.

There were hundreds of them only a few inches high.  We went past the next day and they were “over”.  Can you believe it.  We were SO LUCKY.  Peter identified them not as Iris reticulata which is what they looked like to us, but Gymandriris sisyrinchium – was called Iris originally but has been reclassified….  it as a case of being in the right place at the right time.
