Reticulate Iris - 2014

[Robert]

I bought bulbs of this reticulata type Iris at a local garden center last fall. They look very uniform - like they are all the same clone. By any chance can somebody put a name to it.

Thank you so much!

Iris histrioides 'Lady Beatrix Stanley' in flower today.
I think, the best form from all Iris histrioides.

Robert, possibly Iris reticulata 'Harmony' but there are so many cultivars in the trade that look much the same

David,

Thanks for the guess. I thought that there might be many that look more or less the same. I can still enjoy the lovely little plants, but I have to admit that I like having their name.

Thanks again!

Of course if you had said that in the snowdrop threads you would have been drummed out of the brownies (well scouts I suppose in your case)

[David Nicholson]

  I did think about putting in a Snowdrop joke Brian.

Friends of the SRGC, Jacques Amand Intl.  have won a Gold Medal at the RHS London Show  today - it's usually the Galanthophiles getting excited about this show, but the Irises are getting into the picture this year!







The Amands will be in the USA ,  attending the Philadelphia Flower Show as usual,  on 24th February

[Brian Ellis]

Wow, didn't they do well

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Breathtaking !

I have a favor to ask! I am trying to establish a precedent of Reticulatas and Junos at The American Iris Society’s First International Virtual Iris Show as a substantial component. Cultivation of the many rock garden Irises is limited, or unknown to many iris lovers. If I can encourage many entries of the less well known Irises I am sure it would increase interest in rock gardening, but I need your help. If you can, please enter the Virtual Show. It includes all irises but I have created special sections for several groups of rock garden Irises. The show is part of the Iris Encyclopedia sponsored by the American Iris Society. If you love the Reticulatas, Junos, Arils, and other Iris species as much as I, please help me create a great display. Although I have been a member of many Rock Garden Societies for over 40 years I am new to this forum. From what I have seen it is fantastic. Bob Pries e-mail at robertpries@embarqmail.com

I helped out all day Thursday putting together the Jacques Amand stand.  The white Retic at the front of pictures 1 and 3 is my 98-NP-4 / Avalanche / Eye Catcher.

I was near the stand all day today and will be there all day tomorrow.  At times I was just up the stairs above the display talking to garden writers.  Sorry if I missed anyone.

If you are there tomorrow Saturday, and you don't see me just enquire at the Jacques Amand stand.

Hopefully it will work out for me to come back next year

Alan, did you see the post above yours from Bob Pries- I thought you might be able to get his members clued up on retic - and maybe be at Phily- but of course you're going on to Holland next  aren't you?


Are you staying with John and Helen?

[arilnut]

Hi all.  And here are 2 more of Alan's hybrids blooming now.
They were from a mixed batch he sent me where the wind
had blown over the plastic cups while he was replanting.
Haven't IDed them yet.    Alan??

Hi Magie,
Yes, I did see Bob's Post.  I will have to get something done for him once I'm back in Canada.
Yes, I'm saying with John and Helen - very delightful

John, The first is 00-KN-1, and the second is 98-OK-1 (nick name: Green Ice)
