Irises

The guest speaker at the horticultural society meeting this evening was an iris fan.

And he had iris fans for sale:
The ones we bought are -

Poster Girl. gorgeous pink-apricot-mauve sort of colour.

Magician's Apprentice - very dark purple, which apparently stain fabrics, so could be worth trying as a dye.

Obsessed - burgundy colour.

Plus a "lucky dip" bunch of 4 un-labelled ones. Could be anything!
