Juno (Scorpiris) season 2011

[Hans A.]

Superb plants Fred and Lesley!

[David Nicholson]

One more from me. Iris 'Warlsind' again from the PeterT stable.

[Lesley Cox]

'Warlsind' is particularly nicely scented David so get your nose into it. Bunch of violets.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Looks very well grown David !

[Otto Fauser]

Fred , what a beautyful form of I kuschakewiczii you have  - a deeper greyish blue groundcolour than the one I saw years ago - I would be most grateful for a few seeds in case it sets plenty .

   Pity you missed to take a photo of the rare I atropatana from the Caucasus ,as I have only once seen it in flower , that was in 1962 in the Munich Botanic Garden . I can not remember clearly now what it looked like.

      Lesley , could your yellow juno be a I. orchioides hybrid ?  The bulb you sent me some years ago ,supposed to be of this one , turned out to be I vicaria .

[BULBISSIME]

Otto, I'll tell you if I've some seeds 

[christian pfalz]

hello fred,
you have a pm....
cheers

[Lesley Cox]

TH at Kew thought it was probably an orchioides hybrid. Don't know how the vicaria arrived with you Otto.

[David Nicholson]

Thank you Luc.

You'r right Lesley, it does.

Two more of mine both from Augis Bulbs.

Iris magnifica 'Agalik', and,

Iris 'Morning Star'

[arillady]

I do like the pure white of 'Agalik'

[David Nicholson]

So do I Pat.

[PeterT]

If only Agalik had the vanilla scent of one of the other pure white forms 

[Alex]

I. caucasica from Peter Taggart and I. pseudocapnoides.

[Regelian]

I received this Juno as I. zenaidae.  Here are three shots to help in the diagnosis, as I really don't know what to look for in this species.  No detectable fragrance.  What ever it is, it is quite beautifull.
