I am trying to collect as many irises as possible bred by the French hybridiser Ferdinand Cayeux.

If any members have any irises that they either know or suspect to be Ferdinand Cayeux introductions (including those introduced posthumously by his son Rene) then please contact me here

At present I can offer the following in exchange:

• Iris Pallida
• Iris Flavacens
• Marden Meadow
• Ma Mie
• Cameroun
• Lent A Williamson

In the meantime this is his iris Seraphita in my garden a couple of years ago. In my opinion it is the most beautiful of all his many introductions.

Thank you

Ben Lawn
