What a super Iris stolonifera!
I'm afraid it would not like my loamy soil :'(

Ir think Iri stolonifera is easy to grow if you protect it against high humidity. The following is quite difficoult to grow..

Thanks Rafa,
but beside loamy soil I think my habitat is to wet for I. stolonifera. I can't protect them in the open garden from heavy rainfall.

I. afghanica is real stunner. Wow :o 8) :o 8)

I got Iris 'Sari' out of the Czech Rep. last year. As instructed it has remained bone dry until two weeks ago. How long does it take to wake? How much water do I need to give it?

Mark, I don't know in what shape your plant is at the moment, but Iris sari should be starting in early october to grow leaves with the first rains, and bloom now in march-april. After blooming or eventually fructifying they starting to dry the leaves and it has be dry during dormancy. (may-june to september-october).

Mark the advice given to you might have been assuming outdoor culture in a more continental climate - in the Czech republic they grew oncos outside, just not a possibility in our maritime climate.   I water all my iris with all my other bulbs as per the BD's instructions - mid September then mid October (that's 2 weeks added for my being well south of Aberdeen). 

My Iris sari (it's a species, so small s, no quotes) has good looking foliage at the moment, so I pray for buds in the next couple of weeks or so (they are perhaps a bit later here in UK than in warm Spain).  Then very warm completely dry rest in the summer.  I find oncos and regelias difficult to flower here and the dry rest is crucial.
