Still in a pot because I forgot to put it in the garden (sorry Lesley!)- Iris bucharica following a battle with a slug. This year I'm also trying I. cycloglossa and I. graeberiana in pots but if they do well, showing good leaf at present, they may go in the garden for next year.

I'm also trying the Regelia Iris hoogiana in the greenhouse but so far nothing (and I mean nothing!!) to report.

David,
the regelias tend to be late.  Most of my oncos and hybrids are well along, but hoogiana and stolonifera are just peeking out.  Yours should show in a week or so.

Just wanted to say thanks for everyone for posting these stunners. Can anyone recommend a good book on Junos, i'd love to know more?
Craig,
we'll all waiting for the Monograph (to which Tony Hall has been devoting his blood, sweat and tears) to be published by Kew.
A lot of info can be gleaned from the AGS and SRGC Journals over the last few years, especially the reports from the Joint Rock Awards.
cheers

Thanks Fermi,
I'll ask someone in the Alpine yard if they know any more about when that might be published.

Best Wishes,

Brushed the snow off the bulb frame this morning to discover I.aucheri had decided to start flowering.
This starts flowering here when the plant is much shorter than when I grew it in the UK, as the month
progresses the plant will reach a greater stature.

Too true Luc, the shorter 'look' is rather attractive, it will remain this way until the weather picks up when it wil get much taller.
In the UK this very same plant would grow to about 30cm, and show multiple flowers buds in the leaf axles before opening its first
flower!
I do wonder if the 'taller' form Junos exhibit when grown in cultivation is a result of being kept in 'warmer' winter conditions than would
prevail in the wild!  ???

 I believe that would most likely be the case... not only warmer than in nature but also with lower light levels.

Specially the lower light level should be the reason in my opinion - here its quite warm but I get more sunshine than in UK and the plants stay short - http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=2916.msg76439;topicseen#msg76439 (#144)

I have decided that the relativly warm greenhouse and low light levels are responsible for the height of the junos. The height itself looks quite good but the stem is rather soft and weak and they tend to lean over.

David, when I lived in Aberdeen my Junos ( pot grown ) were always somewhat stretched. Apart from artifical lighting I guess there is little to be done and maybe this is the price to be paid for growing a near eastern / central asiatic genus at a parallel not far off St.Petersburg or Kamchatka! I think really one should say Bravo for being able to grow them in Scotland at all!  :D

Two junos from the bulb garden in Gothenburg botanical garden.
1. Iris rosenbachiana. This special form used to be called I nicolai. Now considered to be a colour form of I rosenbachiana.
2. Iris persica. Collected in southeast Turkey

Splendid Kenneth !!
Are they growing outside or in a bulb frame or glass house ?
