Oncocyclus Iris 2014

[Maggi Young]

seems that south meets north 
Here is Iris paradoxa ssp. coshab blooming.... today in the greenhouse !!!
Season is crazy !

     

[arillady]

No arils to show as most of the flowering stems have been hit by Jack Frost. Hoping for better weather.

[Jupiter]

Pat sorry to hear that the frost impacted your Irises. There have been bad frosts all over the state and I'm hearing farmers complaining of major crop losses in some parts during my travels for work. We didn't experience the same severity of frost here so the garden hasn't been affected.

Seed from the ASI seed exchange 2006 has germinated finally. (It is the fuzzy leaf in the foreground)
The tag says: (pink MTB x tet. OG T-99-5) x sib
An OGB donated by Harald Mathes in Germany.

The second photo of a flower was slightly protected by a Genista seedling.

This cross should be open in a day or two.

Pat (Arillady) sent me some of her hybrids a few years ago.
The first to flower is this cross she made between Iris kirkwoodiae and Iris atropurpurea; hopefully I'll get a pic of the fully open flower tomorrow,
cheers

[arillady]

I will post photos tomorrow of quite a few arils which are flowering as we are still on limited download.

[fermi de Sousa]

Missed out on getting a pic yesterday because of the rain and this morning the flower looked a bit battered but I got a couple of pics
Anyway another one of Pat's is about to open up as well! PT 0317
cheers

Love the colour of this cross - the tag has disappeared and I did not do a planting plan but I should imagine it is a 2009 cross.
PT0447
Iris mariae hybrid
PT0817
PT0918 - love this yellow

[fermi de Sousa]

Here's your PT0317 in flower bloom with another still to come.
cheers

Two small oncocyclus
Iris acutiloba lineolata
Iris paradoxa ssp paradoxa x Iris kirkwoodii
Iris kirkwoodii var macropetala Embryo cultured by Peter Gras - the tallest onco I have ever grown.

Pat  ,impressive clumps of Oncos in your garden of which I can only dream about in my temperate rain forest area .

    I think your I. acutiloba v. lineolata could be a sari hybrid .

[Peterwg]

Very nice indeed, Pat.   Glad to see success!

[arillady]

Otto I thought I might make a big blue with identifcations again this season. I probably forgot to change the label last year. At least sari likes it here!!
