beautiful Roland. I remember Tony Hall suggesting that the white forms of I planifolia had a gene which predisposed it to weak growth and contracting virus.
I grew white and blue forms together in a large pot, the white plant grew well but the blue was virused and gave it to the white one, so now I grow them all in seperate pots, and try to have the babies seperate.

Peter
did you get seeds from the white one
or do you need cross pollination

I did not get seeds from those plants Roland, I think that most Junos can self pollinate, but it is easier to get seeds with two clones. Some Junos self more easily than others but I believe that the size of the plant and how well it is growing might also be important.
I have been told that most Iris have a very long pollen tube, so for the ovary to be fertilised they should be pollinated in the morning when the sun gets warm, and kept warm until night.

of course Iris planifolia grows much better in the ground, where possible. Mine are in full flowering now. I agree that the white one is much weaker, I do have one and it struggles from years. I have raised some hundreds from seed and got a nice variability in colouring, but no whites so far.

Fantastic plants everyone! - I did not notice white planifolias are much weaker (but produce less offsets)- seedlings of my white plants are growing much stronger than my blue ones sown the same day - hope they will be true to colour. As I remember mine came from a white population of spanish mainland, so I think the chances to get white ones again is not bad.
