Juno (Scorpiris) season 2012

[PeterT]

Two junos flowering here this morning, I am not certain of the names....

[PeterT]

Thanks Maggie.
I am told that this is Iris nusariensis, and my suspicion that the yellow is Iris bucharica seems correct so it is almost certainly what I once bought as Iris bucharica "Baldschuan Yellow"

[David Nicholson]

Peter, if you want to compare in reply 129 on page 9 of this thread there is a pic of my bucharica 'Baldschuan Yellow' which I got from you.

[PeterT]

Thanks David they are the same.
It can now get it's lable back! I knew I had lost track of it when I did not find it's lable while repotting last year.

[David Nicholson]

Thanks for edit Maggi, the ever watchful eye

[Jan]

Juno bucharica Tavildara.

Peter, you can compare

[ronm]

Jan, stunning looking I.bucharica.
Is this something new you have recently got?  I dont know of this ever being grown here? Even by the 'experts' What is this species about? Please

[PeterT]

Thanks Jan, how far apart do they grow? they are a little different to each other.
The Tavildara form has a wider fall.

[PeterT]

Very similar though, the spot is green on the Baldchuan yellow, is it always brown on Tavil dara?
Are there any yellow forms of Iris vicaria?

[Jan]

As I already wrote. It depends on the soil. I think I have a few plants
Is variable. Photo is from nature. I also have a yellow form.

[Jan]

I have only form of light yellow Juno Vicario of Turkmenistan

[PeterT]

Could you  identify this please Jan? (I grew it from seed -it was labled I parvula  -which it is not)

[Jan]

It's Juno vicaria, Chulbair mnt. range, is very variable

[Jan]

white form
