Fermi,
Iris halophila - is it seen grown? If so it might be two forms from two sources combined to get the two tier effect.
Off to NZ on Monday - well to Sydney for two nights - then to Queenstown. Back on the 29th.

I'm jealous.  I'd love to go back to NZ again.  I visited there in my teens (I can't believe that it was more than 20 years ago!!  :o  Where has the time gone.  ::)).  NZ is a wonderful mix of so many climates from the lgaciers to the beach.  I would so very much like to see it again. :'(

Any time Paul. :)
Are you going to the NZIS Convention Pat? Or maybe that's over. In Central Otago I think this year. My own talls aren't out yet, not even one.

And given that Adelaide is forecast 40'C today, I'm sure that a holiday away will be a blessed relief.  I think they've had 8 straight days now over 35'C, a new record.  And here the 33'C+ for most of the last week has been bad enough (35 forecast today and 36 tomorrow)..... up to 40'C at this time of year is just ridiculous!!  It's still only spring!!  :o :o :o

Pat,

I was thinking you had left today, but checked and realise it is tomorrow.  I thought you were missing today's temps down there. ::)  At least Sydney won't be as hot, and neither should anywhere in NZ.  ;D

Dunedin is forecast to have 13C today Paul, just 11 yesterday, and snow to low levels in the south. That could include the mountains round Queenstown. I see Canberra is to have 36 today.

Pat, if you get to have a last glance at the Forum before you leave, do mention it, and especially the iris pages and the wonderful onco topic. I'd bet a good bit that those at the Convention will never have seen the like before. You'll be talking with Gwenda. Please give her my love. I have a letter half written to her.

The first autumnal Iris in bloom: Iris vartanii,
Luckily i have found that growing it in shallow pots it produces new bulblis each year, otherwise i need to hand pollinate it which is a back breaking job...

Beautiful potful Oron !!


"Luckily i have found that growing it in shallow pots it produces new bulblis each year"

I would never have expected this type of Iris to thrive in a shallow pot  ??? ???  I would have thought they were expected to be planted quite deep ?
