If I would be breeder - I would keep only one, but they are raised by Lithuanian grower (Augis or Leonid, or both, not remember who). Really Juno hybrids from same parents are very similar one to other in F-1 generation and as they usually are sterile, no F-2 possible.Janis

Janis, from your pictures I svetlanae looks quite variable? how variable is I albomarginata? I a growing the plant you have pictured but also I was sent a plant identical to I graeberiana dark for but it is very slightly paler, I can only tell because they are next to each other.Here is a picture of a seedling very like I greyberiana yellow fall, it is going over now but has set seed. also a picture of I orchioides kyrgistan gold and I caucasica turcica
Last year, my fat luxuriant clumps of Juno Iris were eaten by deer, sheared off to the base of the clasping leaves. After growing these outside for nearly a decade, this is the first time deer ate them, deer only rarely come through, and of course they eat the most treasured items. Subsequently, rain water got into the severed leaf bases and rotted them. I feared all would be lost. Of the 8 species or varieties I had, there is no sign of 3, 3 others only show only a few small non-flowering plants coming up, and two others are flowering, albeit the quantity of bulbs cut way back.So here is the brave 'Warlsind' flowering this year, a mere remnant of the big clumps of previous years. Has anyone noticed how perfumed the flowers are, one of the few junos with a good fragrance.
