Juno nicolai this morning

[pontus]

Some of my favourites amonghst all my bulbs, the beautifull iris rosenbachiana, below is one referred to as "form 1", very closely related to rosenbachiana darwas strain, and secondly is rosenbachiana Tovil Dara, or Tovil Dora ( i have seen both spellings used, so I am not sure which name applies to the plant, but it is from near the town of Tovil dora in south eastern Tajikistan)

like most spring bulbs they started flowering 2-3 weeks later than usual here. the last flower on rosenbachiana form 1 is still in bloom, and as they generally produce several flowers per bulb, it has now been in flower for 5 weeks, with their excellent perfume!

Interesting to see iris nicolai under snow. I have read that it is slightly tender, and sometimes flowers in january, but as the puicture shows, it doesent seem to mind the cold and snow?

Very beautiful plants Pontus
My plants have hard conditions as in Uzbekistan

Thank you Jan,

yes they seem to enjoy Switzerland. They are also enjoying their new spot in my Afghanistan/Tajikistan bed, with differet gravels, stones, rocks and fairly poor clayish soil, only with some humus, I tried to recreate their native conditions...

ps
I tried to open your website to try and view your junos and images, but I could not acess it. Do you have another link? Do you also have a nursery? if so, what is your website link?

Pontus, the link by Jan functions with me without problems.

The rosenbachiana-forms have withered with me already. Later than usual blooms this year Iris kuschakewiczii.
