Working Late ....

A beautiful pale form of Iris histrio, originally collected in Syria sixteen years ago. The indoor warmth released a lovely scent reminiscent of rose-geranium soap.
Sadly it has a plant virus. This may not kill it but will gradually weaken the plant. I will pollinate the flower - you can see the very pale blue pollen down the 'throat' of the flower, just above the yellow marking. Seed for a new generation should be free of the virus. I will quarantine the plant to avoid transmission to others.
