Hi folks. The beardless are coming on strong now. I'll start with the Spurias.
 The first one is a seedling of mine from Zambawonga x Adriatic Blue.
Gold Mania
Hoka Hoona
Zambawonga

And now the Louisiana Iris.

I.nelsonii
Black Gamecock
Cherry Cup
Sinfonieta
White Umbrella

That first seedling is sure a stunner John. I guess with 10 billion irises out there, there are bound to be some wacky names around.

Wonderful clarity of colour and precise design in your first Spuria seedling.
It must have been a surprise from a brown x a blue.  Whenever I try
something like that, I just get mucky colours.

John, what a great seedling!  Obviously, a well thought-out cross!    You just never know. do you.  That's exactly what we all love about hybridizing, the chance of creating something wonderful.  It sort of looks like an eclipse in blue.

Your louisianas are great.  I have buds coming, but this is a group of iris I can never seem to germinate.  Is there a secret, other than removing the cork!, as with any good bottle.

Chris, I have a plant that looks like yours.
My plant came from Ernst Pagels some years before he died, but I presume it never received a name.
He gave it to me and said it is a good plant and I should observe it and give my meaning.
Well I got ill and Pagels died, so we never met anymore.
It is a nice low growing plant and reliable flowering every year on a rather poor, dry spot.
Just the color is not good for selling in greater numbers.

Lovely sibirica seedlings Chris.

Here is the so-called English Iris-Iris latifolia flowering for me for the first time, together with another of my Dutch Irises.

Chris,

you unknown yellow/white may be 'Butter and Sugar'  or 'Chartreuse Bounty'

Here are some I. siberica seedlings from over the years.  They just pop up around the garden.  The second one is clearly a cross with the wild form and a modern hybrid.
