Pictures of plants you are growing from Archibald seed

[Maggi Young]

From "veteranvet" George Young
"I was lucky to be given by the late Jack Brownless, a stalwart of the Cleveland group and bulb expert a piece of Iris pumila  from a colour variant collected by Jim and Jenny Archibald (not sure but think it was from seed) "

This reminds me of an Iris we used to grow named Sassenach, which I regret didn't come north with us.

Trillium grandiflorum f. Roseum Archibald seed 1920.950 dated 2001.
 This is the fresh new dark foliage it alway's retains some of the dark foliage but does turn a bit greener as it ages. The flowers are a lovely deep pink. I'm not sure where Jim got the seed but in my opinion only, I think this is a choice plant. It has not set seed in all the time I have had it but has steadily multiplied, as only one seed germinated perhaps that is why it does not set seed, just the one clone.
I will post photo when the flowers open.

Trillium grandiflorum f. Roseum Arch. 1920.950 from 2001 in flower. If possible Maggi could you insert this photo after the photo of the leaves please, if possible Thank you Viv

 From the seedlist: "1.920.950 : TRILLIUM GRANDIFLORUM f. ROSEUM From the exquisite pink form of this superlative, well-known species with large, full-petalled flowers on 30cm. stems. These open pale pink and deepen as they age. This variation is apparently not infrequent in the Blue Ridge Mts. of Virginia but we have no idea how reliably it reproduces from seed."

Turkey, Antalya, SW of Elmali. 1000m. Open hillsides in very stony terra rossa. P.& P. Watt coll.
(A lilac, autumn-flowering, SW Turkish saffron Crocus distinguished in the type-description mainly by its rich, deep violet throat, though in most sites many plants lack this essential characteristic. In this site, investigated by Peter and Penny Watt when the plants were in flower, all have intense purple throats extending to about one-third of the tepals.)
