Another Iris from Iran - a 'hill' outside Sanandaj.

It was difficult to get a really good shot of this Iris as the eind was blowing and the light was not very good.  I have included the enlargement of the tip of the fall as this is clearly in faocus

Ashley

This one does not have black anthers, but I have just examined one that looks identical - different location - and it appears to have black anthers.  Will attempt to get some reasonable shots tomorrow.

Here is the other Iranian iris that appears to have 'black' anthers.

The second shot of anthers shows the anthers from the iris I posted yesterday.  Other Iranian iris seem to have 'ivory' coloured anthers

I hope I have a lot more to come.

The McMurtrie seed we shared last year is just starting to germinate.  I am hopeful that the seed I sowed in 2006 will produce some flowers this year - if they are half as good as the selections we have seen I will be very happy.

Arthur, I know time passes quickly when you're enjoying yourself but the seed we shared I got in 2009. ::) I was thinking I might get mine to flowering size in another couple of years.
