Bearded Iris 2018

[Tom Waters]

Some Iris reichenbachii forms blooming for me now. The first (brownish) one is raised from seed from an Archibald collection in Kevala, Greece. The yellow one is from Mt. Vikos, Greece. The violet ones are from Jurášek seed, I do not know the geographic origin.

Iris pumila cultivars 'Royal Wonder' and 'Wild Whispers'

[Tom Waters]

Two Iris pumila forms of wild origin: the first from Sevan Lake, Armenia; the second from Balkaria in the Russian Caucasus

[Tom Waters]

A couple Iris pumila from my own crosses.

[Tom Waters]

A hybrid, Iris aphylla X Iris pumila. Less than 12 cm in height, it nevertheless has a basal branch and a total of 4 buds.

[Tom Waters]

A couple nice minitature dwarf bearded cultivars: 'Dollop of Cream' and 'Miniseries'

Iris subbiflora from Spain

Iris subbiflora from Spain

Do you know from where it comes in Spain ? Iris subbiflora is only from Portugal (and N Africa ?), as a disjuncted population/species from the eastern populations of Iris lutescens (see FLora-on and Anthos.es)

I think it grows in western Andalucía anyway Yvain, for example in the beautiful karst area south of Antequera, as shown here.

Iris subbiflora is not fully recognized by flora iberica but, from what I understand in Flora iberica, Iris subbiflora is used for the western populations, i.e. from Portugal. If you look at the distribution of Iris lutescens in Spain (anthos.es), there is very few gap between the catalan populations and the andalusian ones. A friend of mine have made a study on the distribution of the color pattern of Iris lutescens and all the spanish populations were include in I. lutescens  (see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/301335252_Neutral_processes_contribute_to_patterns_of_spatial_variation_for_flower_colour_in_the_Mediterranean_Iris_lutescens_Iridaceae). There was no genetic differention of the two population sampled in southern Spain.
Fernandes & Fernandes (Lagascalia 15 (Extra), 1988 see http://editorial.us.es/es/lagascalia/vol_15ex) studied I. subbiflora and say that it is also in Spain and around Tanger  but they studied only Potuguese populations.
I prefer to use subbiflora only for the disjuncted populations from Portugal.
