I said it was the best advice any man will ever get, not that any man will necessarily take it!

That is a beautiful reticulata Dirk-is it scarce or generally available?

Bio- your pamphylica is also beautiful.

Yes, those two above are beautiful all right. I wish there was a seed source of I. pamphylica.  Imported bulbs to NZ are simply not an option even if we could source them and get the horrific paperwork sorted.

Hello,

I am waiting to see in bloom two Iris pamphylica that I have. If anyone keep the pollen we could exchange and mabye incrase this specie through all members interested in iris, by seeds.

Regards

For my part I have two different strains and I had had seeds 2 years ago.
How do you do, in which conditions, to keep the pollen ?

It would be great if the two of you could get your irises together and have little seeds to spread around. I suggest the removal of a whole anther complete with pollen, from each flower. Put it in a small sealed plastic container or bag and post to each other. Remove anther from container and when pollen is warm, wipe it on the stigmatic lip which is under the style arm. Use it on all three lips per flower. Worth a try anyway.
