Juno (Scorpiris) - Season 2010

[Otto Fauser]

Hans , every time you post more of your stunning photos of your rare ,exquisite and suberbly grown irises, you seem to excell on your previous postings - when will it end ? The white form of I. planifolia ( rare in cultivation ) is even more beautyful than the normal blue one , grown by quite a few people .

        Otto.

Thanks Otto,
many of the Junos were grown from seed by a good friend in the nineties and they are growing here only a few years. Now I do my best to keep this delicate plants alive and if possible to increase them.

Here two Junos from today:

Iris x sindpers (I.aucheri x I.persica)
Iris persica

Hans !
My chin had barely dried up and now you post this...    I wonder what David N. will have to say about this... 

Serious now : wonderful plants Hans !! Thanks for showing them ! 

[David Nicholson]

He's just a torturer Luc

Great stuff Hans.

[Hans A.]

Thanks to all, most Junos are over now, so your chins could dry, but I am nearly sure some other growers will show some beauties and I will accompany you in drooling  

better than in nature !  

...in nature they look sometimes a bit reticulate...

[Hristo]

Always sad when the Junos finish! Many thanks for sharing your Juno season with us!

[Oron Peri]

Stunning as usual Hans

Here are the typical leaves of I. edomensis, unfortunately i missed the flowering season this year.

[Hans A.]

Thanks for the pictures Oron,
Were all plants single plants or does it also produce clumps?
This species I have sown some years ago but there is still no germination.
It is a pity you missed it - next year another try?

[arilnut]

Hi Oron. Is that a seedpod I see in the second photo?? Can you harvest some seed?

Hans

From what i have seen it doesn't make clumps, and it is also a solitary plant, growing quite far from each other... you can be sure  I'll try next year...

John, it is a seedpod, in order to collect the seeds I'll have to drive back 6 hours, I think it is better if left there...
