Bearded Irises 2014
« on: March 30, 2014, 02:53:22 AM »
Bearded iris season has begun here with two forms of Iris pumila. The yellow one opened on April 18, a seedling raised by George Hildebrandt, seed from the SIGNA seed exchange, donated by Milan Blazek of the Czech Republic. The violet one is from a US alpine nursery, origin unknown, but a great performer here.

Very nice Iris suaveolens clump, Philip. I'm still working on persuading this species to be happy here.

Photos from this evening: the violet pumila shown in my earlier post, a clump of I. pumila taurica, and miniature dwarf bearded cultivar 'Rosa Brooks'.

Two more Iris pumila forms that opened yesterday: a yellow and brown one that I got a few years ago labeled as Iris hoogiana (!) and 'Royal Wonder', introduced by Carol Coleman in 2013.

Some lovely Iris on here

This is my I. attica and having the best show of flowers ever. Could it be due to being kept under glass these days combined with the heat last July?

Iris sp. aff. [reichenbachiinex Vardar Gorge Macedonia, originally thought to be perhaps a tetraploid Iris reichenbachii, now judged to be perhaps a hybrid between I. reichenbachii and I. pumila. The first photo is one of the two collected clones, the second a seedling from cross-pollinating the two.
