Title: Iris vartanii bulbils - offered
Post by: Alex on September 12, 2009, 11:33:51 AM
Just been repotting this and have lots of small bulbils (up to about 7 mm height sort of size) that I can't really accommodate - anyone want any?

I would love some but can't import bulbs alas. But DON'T be tempted to throw them out. Let someone have them. This species is now exceptionally rare. It would be criminal to destroy them. I hope some UK iris growers will take up your offer.

I'm sorry, but I've sent them all off now. I can perhaps send you a bigger bulb next year, though?

David,

Hopefully there'll be something I can send you next Summer if you're still interested.

I posted some earlier in the year, don't remember which thread though. Here's a recap.

Anthony,

Marcus Harvey from Hillview Rare Bulbs in Tasmania has it on his catalogue periodically.  That is Iris iberica ssp elegantissima at least.  Is that what you're after?  It would need to change hemispheres, but if you can't find it anywhere else there is him at least.  He usually sends out his catalogue just before Christmas, and does sell overseas.  I can provide contact details if you (or anyone else) wants them.

Anthony, depending for which Iris iberica you ar looking for there are also different supplier on the northen hemisphere (what would make it easier for you  ;))
Iris iberica ssp. iberica hardly can be found in trade, Iris iberica ssp. lycotis is offered sometimes by Janis, Pc and Floralpin.
The most common and perhaps easiest in cultivation in northern climates might be Iris iberica ssp. elegantissima - which is offered for example here: http://www.floralpin.de/ueberuns/53964097580eb6104/539640975c1241233/index.html (http://www.floralpin.de/ueberuns/53964097580eb6104/539640975c1241233/index.html)

It's worth getting Marcus' catalogue for Susan Jarrick's beautiful paintings, quite apart from the bulbs/plants. I only get the summer bulb list and any seed list he produces but they always give me a great deal of pleasure - and new plants. :)

Paul, 3am is early, as a date once told me when I said I needed to get home. Up to midnight is early and after that it's early in the morning. So always early. ;D
