, Devon is such a nice county, surely
. There must be something nice there,
. Cannot be all gloom and doom,
. Isn't there?
.
I often ask myself, is the challenge to grow them as near to nature as possible ( 98% of people are screaming yessssssssssssss of course
), or is it to grow them well and healthy and for as long as we are alive to do it, in order that the genes may be preserved. I read so often of 'Great Growers', who win medals etc. and dont have the plant the next year! ( lost to adverse conditions
), but will then go and get another from someone in the know (
), only to lose it again.
. What do you think?

Fabulous images Oron and Fred of the rare Iris edomensis - what a cracking plant. Seems incredible that plants can evolve to thrive in such inhospitable conditions. Just a wonderful sight though.
Clearly wouldn't survive here
...... days too short, light levels too low in winter and plenty of really damp days
Hans - I really like your Iris persica and stenophylla allisoni from your garden - brings back some good memories of seeing these in Turkey a couple of years ago.......
Thanks guys for sharing your superb images of these exquisite plants.

A little more pedestrian than some of the foregoing - but nice nonetheless!

Oh Yes Janis,
. But what has happened to it since? Has it proved a tricky one to grow in your conditions?

Ron, I. rosenbackiana here is one of easiest in most of forms. Harangon (and others) is the easiest just outside, not so good in greenhouse, but safer to grow in greenhouse. Only magnifica here can compare with rosenbackianas.

Alex and Janis, nice Juno rosenbachiana.
Here is a early red Juno nicolai, receive from Mr. Jilek in 2010. Last year not a sign from him. Who knows, why?

Here is a picture of the Junos which Tony Hall brought in to the Iris Show on the 18th of February

Peter
Well done in capturing the whole display.
I did not think the ones that had flowered for the first time would show up as they were quite small plants - I was wrong.
Happy memories of an excellent show.

After Iris narbutii, I think Iris stenophylla allisonii must be my favourite.
It meets availability and price
