Juno (Scorpiris) 2009

@Thanks Gerhard, you should try to self it - in difference to Oncos normally they produce seed. 
Very fine plants - just willmottiana looks quite bad...


@Susan, thanks - so let us wait till snow has melt - meanwhile I help Gerhard to bridge the time...

Hans,

I LOVE your persica !!!

Hans - Words fail me.  You keep showing us one better than the last!  Thanks.

Fred - the beating hearts made me smile, I could use them to send my wife on Valentines Day (Feb 14)

Hans - Words fail me.  You keep showing us one better than the last!  Thanks.

I agree, and look's like 66 other people do too.

Fred - the beating hearts made me smile, I could use them to send my wife on Valentines Day (Feb 14)

You old romantic.

[Hans A.]

Thanks, I am glad you like them, I also love it - if they only would be easier to keep...    - it was the first flower of this plant (do not hope also the last one, as the weather became cold and wet )

@Susan - did you try "forced germination" with your persica seeds? If so, did you peel them?

[Susan Band]

Hans,
These were ones I sowed this time last year. They had  been left to fend for themselves over the summer then I put them with any of my other seed which hadn't germinated on heated cables in Jan.
Only 2 out of the 10 have germinated.
I have tried forced germination on this year's seed but no results yet.

Very nice Junos.

Let me lower the tone with a few from my greenhouse: Iris stenophylla (the same one from my avatar) opening, Iris narbutii and one of my new favourites, though not a good photo I'm afraid, but it's I. rosenbachiana 'Tovil Dara', the excellent purple form from Janis.

Cheers,

Alex
