Thanks Otto for the tip about Vlastimil Pilous' seed list. I did contact him and he has virtually sold out of everything on his current list but he will send me his new list when it is available.

I'm hanging in there Lesley ;D

I'd like to introduce myself. I am an iris grower for 20 year already, member of the Russian Iris Society and AIS. I'm trying to test modern american and australian varieties in our unappropriate climate. Being interested a lot in species, i'm trying to travel and find irises in the nature.
As debut I'd like to show Iris glaucescens, a real gem of the Mugodzhary rocks in Kazakhstan.

Nice to meet you Yuri,

I follow your pictures in Signa Iris Database, and Yahoo groups abut Iris.
I think I  e-mailed you sometimes...

Interesting picture, I haven't  seen many pictures of this species, do you have any close up? I saw many pictures with the name Iris scariosa, many of them from Dr. Sergey Banketow.

Rafa,
Iris scariosa and Iris glaucescens are totally different species with different areas and ecology.
Unfortunately Iris glaucescens shows up sometimes under the name scariosa, but Iris scariosa shown by Sergey Banketov is true.

Thank you very much for explanation, so this species is not so variable in colour like I. scariosa insn't it?

Rafa,
Iris glaucescens from Siberia and North Kazakhstan has only anthocyanin pigment in its flower, so it varies in the color from violet to white only.

Welcome to the Scottish Rock Garden Club Forum Yuri and especially welcome to the Iris page if you will be posting pictures like the one above. It is a beautiful species, not seen in New Zealand I should think, so a real treat for me. I wish you every success with your southern hemisphere hybrids but yes, our climate is VERY different from that of Moscow.

Kind regards from another Irisaholic. :D
