No Junos in flower here going into summer but I am thrilled that the Juno seed from Oron Peri received in September, has germinated well. Iris aucheri and three accessions of Iris palaestina are well up, a total so far of 34 seeds of 41. No complaints there. Having used the forced germination technique for the onco seed (IT WORKS!), I soaked the junos for 2 days the took the meerest smidgin of material from the germination end, and also scraped off some of the brown skin from that area. Junos usually do germinate reliably but often after several months or even a year or more while these have taken about a month. I did the same for Iris vartani, a reticulate species but nothing there yet.
