Congratulations Rafa !
This is one of my favorite species and it produces seeds quite freely so you should have some next year :)
I also agree with you of course about the country and people living here... no news at all from some friends.... :-X ??? >:(
Pat, good news your seedlings are in good condition  :) You have kangaroo... i have many deers and wild noars  :( :( :( :( Not easy to live in the middle of natural lands !

Kangaroos can leap as high as deer I am sure. Boars might be a little worse than rabbits and hares which have decided to move in too.

A nice flower that visited with me yesterday (Many, many thanks, Pat!).
It is from David Shahak's experiments on improving germination with I. atropurpurea, this time with I. hermona.

So glad Peter that you have finally come into the fold.

 Everyone this is my embryo culture guru who lives in Sydney.

Welcome and yes it is not too hard to download photos once you know how.

This onco hybrid is one of my favourites that I have posted photos of before on this forum. I have also used it a lot in breeding as I love the shape and smokiness of it.

Hello Peter, and a warm welcome from me too . I amso grateful ,as is Pat , for embryo culturing the the many seeds for me .I only wish I could do justice to them and grow them on to flowering stage ,as my climate is not as ideal as your's or Pat's .

Quite so, Pat. The little "hill" in the Olpympic park at the start of the Olympic Games looked so super with all the flags of the participating countries fluttering there. Great excuse for some real and virtual "flag-waving" from us all!

The first aril to flower this year may be Iris jordana with some Iris atropurpurea to bloom next. Lots of buds forming. The season is two months behind last year which was the earliest ever here. Usually July you see blooms begin.
I have had to dig and discard quite a few of my 2004 crosses as well as the clump of pseudopumila and a clump of another species - all to virus. It was hard discarding the first clump but I have decided that I will discard anything that shows any signs of it - without looking at the cross or the species name!!!  :'( :'( :'( :( :( :(
The pseudopumila was the first to show signs and it must have had it last year as I moved some of it and potted up some and it all has virus this year. All had been grown from seed but I think it is the ants and red legged mites that move it around.

Another of Pat's lovely seedlings - PT 0573 - opened today, yet many more thanks Pat!   And something new for me - supposedly Urmiensis, received as seed in the mid-80s and cultured (EC) 23rd October 2010.

Beautiful plants Peter! Fine to see Iris urmiensis in flower - here I only see the leaves every year...
First Oncoseedlings started to grow actually - mature plants are still all dormant.

Peter so good to see them flowering elsewhere in Oz. Lets hope we get lots of bloom soon from the EC arils.
Rosella, as in bird, damage. This is some of the damage. BBBBB birds :'( If they touch the new EC ones I will be pretty cranky.
Iris atropurpurea
This group was from those which got mixed up in the past so don't know.
Labelled Iris jordana? and the next will have the sun coming through it a day or so later.
I dug some more of the crosses out and discarded them in a plastic bag. I am worried as I planted most of the junos and that large lot of Iris planifolia in that patch. It
