Can somebody help me with specific IDs on a flower and a tree (in a Sydney garden this week) (A) The flower looks to me like an iris: http://box.net/public/richwrig/dfiles/IrisLike.jpg (B) The tree has sharp-edged scars all up its trunk from where leaves have fallen off. The leaves are fleshy and velvety: http://box.net/public/richwrig/dfiles/LargeLeavedTree.jpg

Thanks, Richard. I would never have got the Kalanchoe beharensis! What is the pronunciation of Dietes? Die-tees? Dee-tees? Di-ee-tes? Dee-ay-tes?

Richard, We had a few of those iris in our front garden. We were told they were natives. That may be so, but not of Australia. They grew into large clumps and if they are not dead-headed after flowering, the seeds sprout up everywhere. In my opinion, they're as weed-like as the bloody-awful agapanthus. Both should be banned (though I hear there is a new aga out which is not as invasive). Mark.
