Iris book reprint

[Lesley Cox]

My thanks too Peter, for the links. I'd better do something abouit them. Being an OAP now, many things have had to be put aside. Seeds, or plants, or subs, or books, or music. One or two maybe but not the lot.

The British Iris Society http://www.britishirissociety.org.uk/
The species Group is fairly autonomous and pretty sporadic It doesnt have a seperate web site as far as I know
The Aril Society International http://www.arilsociety.org/index.pl?Intro

Thanks, Peter,
oh dear, seems I'm now a member of yet another society!
 
cheers

which is a bit disappointing - especially as the Aussie dollar could be a lot worse against the GBP by then!

Pat , 'A Guide to Species Irises ' has been my Iris Bible too since 1997 . ,when it was up to date . There was no photo available then of I stocksii etc. -but it does feature photos of some more obscure species taken in the wild like: wendelboi, platytera, drepanophylla. microglossa , carterorum, tianschanica, polysticta, heweri.

It is not as scholarly written and illustrated with beautyful botanical paintings as R. Dykes 'The Genus Iris' 1913 ( which I treasure ) but it is still very good .

 How fortunate we are to have such good photos of Iris stocksii in the Forum and in the IRG, heh?!!

Yes Maggi it illustrates how invaluable the SRGC forum is for people from all around the world.
