Sally Razelou has planted a mass of the purple Iiris germanica on the Sparoza hillside by the road. The first year they bloomed brilliantly at the same time and all among a tall wild yellow daisy and the sight was jaw-dropping. Unfortunately I can't find a photo but even some schollchildren visiting were stopped in their tracks. The next year there was a lack of rain, the daisies hardly flowered and the irises were stunted. You couldn't believe it was the same place.
