[PeterT]

These are wonderfull pictures Jan,
I like the Iris rosenbachiana from northern Afghanistan especially, It's coulor seems to be variable. Do you think it is a seperate (sub)species?

[Jan]

Thank you Peter
Juno rosenbachiana of Afghanistan is very variable, I have about 10 clones of color.
Give a good seed
For three weeks will flourish.

Jan, -Iris narbuti from south Tadjikistan looks very like Iris warleyensis?
Tony Hall's recent paper puts them as close relatives .....

[Jan]

In any case, Juno warleyensis massive plant to 60 cm height.

I will epxlain you with pleasure how I'm growing my plants, no secrets. in which ground and what I am fertilizing with.
please give me a bit of time.
I am growing Mother plants in open ground, in order for selling in pots. There is possibility to empty the pot without damaging the bulb.
Today we got Spring too, the first plants of Juno nicolai from Varzoba are started flowering with 4 colors.
