Hello friends. I was lining out some onco seedlings today from spring 2009 forced germination and
thought I would show some pics.   Also a pic of a pod on paradoxa atrata. This was pollinated with
the pollen I saved and froze from the first atrata that bloomed. This is the last atrata bloom this year
and was pollinated on May 1, this pic is from May 7. I also have a pod on this Oyez bloom from atrata
pollen.

Thanks John for the photos.
The first flower on Iris planifolia - the darkest in the clump. It started flowering last weekend and this was taken of that flower yesterday. I also dropped some different coloured gravel around the dark flower so later I will know which is which.
Just realised this is the onco thread :-\
But the other is one of the oncos - ex Harald Mathes seed. Clump is doing really well. Touch wood!

Welcome Chris to this wonderful forum! A very good start... ;)
Fred - words are missing - Iris auranitica is really a stunner!
John, glad to see your results in forced germination - which was your percentage in resulting seedlings from cutted seeds?

Not sure if the last ones here, and much more common thon those Fred showed ;) - but also wonderful plants:
Iris paradoxa 'Sevan' and Iris paradoxa choshab

nice pictures Chris John, Hans, Fred, and welcome Chris,
This is a seedling which I grew by forced germination of I kirkwoodii. both the two seeds I had of this germinated but one failed to develop properly after being potted. The plant is two and a half years old and was split into two pots last year.

Only have a couple Oncos, but they no longer flower.  Here's an arilbred that does very well, this year getting much taller than in previous years, Iris 'Lancer'.  I include one photo from 2008 that shows the flower well, and a very recent photo.

I think Lancer got an award of garden merit from Wisley, I am sure it was trialed successfully in the open ground there anyway

It must be awsome Mirriam.
I've still got a bud or two to come  :P there is a paradoxa dragging its heels!  can any one tell me how to distinguish Iris paradoxa ssp paradoxa from ssp atrata? my plants look the same, a great gene pool but which one and which do I lack?
