[Janis Ruksans]

Some lovely plants on this thread

Here is one of mine flowering at the moment Iris nicolai

Seems that it is Varzob form?

Janis the plant originated I believe from Pilous I know no more than this. Perhaps you can say more?

I judged by flower colour - at Varzob are yellowish forms - seem it is even more yellow than mine.

Iris x 'Sindpers', today in the garden.

We have just seen on the TV news the snow in the Balearics, Hans, so this was not a shock to us.... but it must have been a shock to the Iris! 

[Hans A.]

Yes, specially for the flowering ones, hope they will suffer less than me actually...

Nice pic Hans  
But don't complain  ... here it's around -9 every day and night, and may be for one more week...  

[PeterT]

Good luck Hans, What is the temperature with you? Take off any damaged flowers when they melt. Here it is cold too, not as  cold as Freds though, but mostly the Junos are waiting still.

[Hans A.]

Thanks Fred and Peter, temperature actually is about 3ºC, but last night it was below 0ºC as the frozen pond indicates - have already removed damaged flowers of the blooming Junos to avoid Botrytis, here the main reason for loosing Junos.

I posted this galatica a few weeks ago, since which it has put up another shoot which is also flowering - a nice surprise!

[PeterT]

galatica does form clumps, very usefull of it, Persica even more so in my experiance. Congratulations Alex.

[Alex]

Thank you, Peter. Sadly, my persica didn't form a clump, or even a viable bulb! It was a beautiful one from Janis, too.

[PeterT]

 Contact me in the Summer- depends how it grows this season.

[Alex]

Will do! I hope I will have something you might like in return.

Cheers,

Alex
