On my many trips to Turkey I had never seen Iris sari.  This time I knew where they were, but the strange weather that turkey had been having meant that flowers were very scarce.

1.  This clump have approx 30 buds
2.  A bud about to open
3.  Iris sari in flower  :) :)

Superb I. sari Art !!  8)

I wish I could have seen it - in a normal season I think it would have been over.

A friend, who was in Turkey at roughly the same time as me, saw a huge expanse of Iris sprengeri in flower - another one I have not seen.  The site we investigated, where previously there had been hundreds of plants, did not have any plants  :o :o :o  A complete mystery.

And the arils begin for the year:
PT0428 Iris samariae x Iris atropurpurea
Iris kirkwoodii x Iris atropurpurea ex Harald Mathes seed
And a bud on one of my 1999 or 2000 crosses.
It has been cold and wet as you can see from the leaves and I have not got around to covering them over winter - I always mean to to see what the difference would be.
One of the coldest couple of days.

Thanks for sharing the photos, Pat! I love how with members in both hemispheres, the iris season never ends on this forum. The kirkwoodii hybrid is especially regal.

Yes Tom I agree we can have irises all year. The expertise is so incredible with both north and south contributing - well especially the north where the irises can be seen in their natural habitats

Hi Pat,
the iris I got from you are in growth though a couple haven't appeared yet.
I should take a print of your pics to show them what they should look like in the next few years! ;D
cheers

Some of the arils in flower or nearly so today.
PT0428 Iris samaraie x Iris atropurpurea
Iris atropurpurea - after I pollinated it with another atropurpurea.
PT0735 - this will have a stripey samariae hybrid that will show up I hope - first flowering.
PT0809 - light yellow, black veins, some dotting no signal x samaraie hyb samariae form (yellow) - wonder what will come from this cross - again first flowering.
Please note that I only crosss straight species if I haven't another of the species to keep the species.

I do hope that I never lose the excitement that I feel from seeing a fat bud full of promise. It would make life so dull.
