Iris and some Irids 2011

[Hans A.]

May I make a plea that posters look for the appropriate Iris thread before posting? There are retics and oncos here though each has its own thread and last year at least, bearded irises had a dedicated thread too. It would make finding things later, much easier.

Hello Lesley, not shure if you meant the plant I have shown ('m2'), maybe some information were missing describing it (parentage same as mentioned for 'm1'). Even if it might look like a pure Onco in this Hybrid (Arilbred) are involved Bearded Iris, Regelias and Oncos, so it might be the best place to post it here.
The next Iris which might be an Onco in this thread was yours.

Here's a pic of Iris tingitana I posted last year when it survived the winter very well indeed. It didn't survive winter this year though I've lost the lot.

Yes Hans, I know it was, and that's what I mean in that if I were looking to find mine again, or yours, I'd be looking in the Onco thread rather than here. I don't suppose it matters in the long run but I always find it difficult searching for ANYTHING on the Forum.

Some Iris' in my garden today :

1) I. suaveolens, incredibly floriferous - I counted over 35 flowers and buds on this samm plant ! 
2 and 3) Iris taurica - barely started to flower, but a slug already got hold of it...  ... I got hold of the slug afterwards.. 
4 and 5) a yellow form of Iris reichenbachii.

[Lesley Cox]

"Nice weekend" he says. How can I when there isn't a single iris in flower?

Blooming in my garden today: Iris pumila aequiloba and 'Cradle Blue' (Alta Brown 1960), an MDB that is 3/4 I. pumila in ancestry;

Super beardies people,Tom your  Iris pumila aequiloba is very nice.

[Lesley Cox]

Those are both super Tom. I really love the very tinies.

[arillady]

Tom could you tell us a little more about Iris pumila aequiloba please. It is one that I have not read about or seen before.

[arillady]

Luc and Chris you both have some lovely species - and grown so well.

[Tom Waters]

Hi Pat. I got it from Wrightman Alpines in Canada as I. pumila var. aequiloba, although botanical sources do not regard it as a valid taxon, just a cultivar name. Although the photo doesn't show it too well, it has an unusual greenish cast.
