Fermi,

It's a terractotta long-tom type.  I can get exact dimensions for you if you'd like?

Pat,

That's why I said "long tom type".  They're much taller than normal, but I am not sure exactly what a long tom is.  These are 27cm wide from outside of rim to outside of rim, and 32cm from base to top.  I have just taken a couple of pics for you, but the weather is a bit icky so I don't know how they'll turn out.  I'll upload them later and see how they look.

Pat and Paul ,
 not in long toms, but happy growing in the open the following 3 easy Junos hybrids have   
 brought this year's Juno season to its close .
  1 Iris x'Warlsind' the old but attractive old Van Tubergen hybrid :I. warleyensis x aucheri
  (syn. I. sindjarensis)
  2 (010(6) I. 'Oriental Jewel' = I. warleyensis x bucharica     
  3 (013(5) I. 'Skyline'  = I. willmottiana  x magnifica   

         Pat , I only wish I could grow Oncos as successfully as you do - you are a genius !
  mine just linger on .

And Otto I would love to grow some of those Junos you have just shown us if you ever have spare. Lets just say I have been extremely lucky growing the arils. I just hope this year has not been too wet or that we suddenly get some really hot weather to rot the rhizomes.
I feel a bit like a farmer who is always looking to the weather!!!

Otto,

Do your assorted junos set seed?  If so, have you grown them on and found out whether they are naturally hybridising?

Hi Folks,
I am new to this Juno Irises page, but that does not stop me trying to post a few Juno's flowering at the moment.
I love the Juno's, a bit of a challenge, not easy to grow, but well worth a try.
I am also attempting a few other Juno species, with mixed results, but I don't give up.
