Juno (Scorpiris) season 2012

[PeterT]

I agree with Janis, I always worry about these bulbs if hot weather arrives early. They grow best when they are cold but not frozen, and they don't like going back to frozen when they start spring growth.

I agree with Janis. In nature, Juno blooms very slowly, up to 3 weeks. The temperature around 5-8 C during the day. When the bloom, the temperature does not exceed 10 +12 C.
In my greenhouse, I'm afraid to temperatures above +20 C.

 Friends, I will answer all evening. I need to pollinate thousands of blossoms!

After all the beautiful Junos on this thread I hesitated before posting this. Looking second best to a lurking snail- Iris graeberiana

[Lesley Cox]

Looks good to me David.

Are those pale spots to the left snail damage?

[David Nicholson]

They are Lesley. I don't really have the room to grow them properly and this will be my last Juno season. So glad I tried them though.
