3. 'Laurie' is the clear mauve flower in the last pic and I have one rhizome of that. All these have not flowered this season but should do next season.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
PS My irises are in flower at the moment and buyers are welcome to view them. They are spectacular flowers in every colour except brick-red.
In good condition
Only used for one year
Comes with filter and the other accessories that are for the pool
Would really like to sell as I’m going to have no use for it this summer
