Juno (Scorpiris) season 2012

[Alex]

Hi Ron,

Not really - I got one bulb from Jan Jilek 8 years ago I think and it has multiplied so I now have 4 or 5 bulbs. It seems to grow fairly well in the usual Juno conditions here, although I live in quite a dry and sunny part of the country. I don't do anything special for it.

It doesn't look like you have any problems growing Junos, though, judging by the pics you post! You should be fine with this one.

Thanks for the information Alex. I like to ask on anything I dont grow myself as I think it best not to take anything for granted. When I see things growing so well I'll always ask to see if I'm 'missing a trick'.

[David Nicholson]

It looks nice whatever it is Ron, well worth keeping I would have thought. Perhaps you should call it Iris 'Clear as Mud', and put it oo Ebay and make your fortune

Nice hippolyti Alex.

I'd rather give them away than do that David,

That's the right spirit.

Good evening

Please allow me to talk with you a bit in the Forum as well. I have a small collection of plants from Central Asia and I will be happy to discuss with you about problems and lucks in growing those beautifull plants. For the moment I cannot boast because I have still snow in my garden. I am growing plants  in loose soil so that is why they are just waking up.

Welcome to The Forum Jan, we look forward to seeing your plants.

[PeterT]

Welcome Jan, I hope that you are well.

[Maggi Young]

Welcome Jan.  Good to hear from you.

[Jan]

Thank you very much for the welcome. I do not know English well.

[PeterT]

Your English is good Jan and I am looking forward to seeing the snow melt in your garden. Some seeds, which I think you sent me, are growing well, here in England.

I bought this two years ago at a small local fair. It was marked as 'Blue Juno'. It was a small plant, I estimated perhaps a two year old seedling. I also bought a few 'Yellow Juno' (turned out to be some decent looking I.bucharica ), and some 'White Juno' ( I.magnifica). As they were only £1 each I didn't really care what they were. The lady on the stall said here husband grew them , and she didnt know anything about their history. It got badly frozen in its pot last year, but still tried to put out a flower, but this was badly deformed. This year its doubled and has about 5 flowers coming, and a couple on its offspring. Trouble is ... what is it? . At first I thought rich coloured I.vicaria, but then started to see I. warleyensis. . Now I've convinced myself that someone has been dabbling with a paint brush and I've got a 'mongrel'. .  

Jan was just saying that this is a beautiful hybrid - his post got lost!
