Hi Hans,

Sorry, can't help there, it came from Westonbirt plants about 5 or 6 years ago without info on its origin.

I love that persica - what a wonderful clone.

By the way, the bulbs of I.pamphylica you sent me are growing away and the seeds are all up - it's an early one, this!  Thank you very much again.

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks Janis, Juan, Pat, Fred and Alex!
Pat: I hope to get some seeds this year, despite of many flowers last year I got a very poor seedset because of very bad weather during flowering time.
Fred: some 8) - and the pots with seedlings look very promising.
Alex: Thanks, should try to contact Tony Dickerson - this Iris galatica could be grown from Archibald seeds. Glad to hear Iris pamphylica does fine!

A few from today: Iris stenophylla ssp. alisonii fully open, Iris nicolai.

My glashouse was builded for cacti and succulents Peter. And I stil use it (one half)for this purpose ...
So it is a hot and sunny glashouse! But we have also a lot of gray and dark days in Belgium Peter. So this year I try t use some extra UV-lights.

Although the weather was wet and dull today, another Juno opened :

Iris x sindpers
A strange greenish/blueish/greyish colour ...  ;D  the bad light didn't favour the photo's and didn't do the colours justice..  :(
I'll have another try on a more sunny day.

Superb plants Luc!
Your 'Sindpers' is ahead of mine- Iris rosenbachiana is a species which unfortunately does not like the local conditions.

I suppose that for I. rosenbackiana/nicolai it is too hot in your conditions. They are not easy with me, too. In outside garden beds they grow excellently, but flowers usually are damaged by night frosts, late snow etc. In greenhouse blooming is marvellous but bulb crop generally poor, regardless of planting just on mid row near widely open doors. Stocks are too large for potting and I can't bring them outside after blooming.
