Title: species ID needed
Post by: arilnut on March 12, 2016, 06:09:21 PM

For the Iris experts on here. Peter Taggert  et al.

Can you ID this Iris. Received from Harvey Wrightman in 2012 as a seedling grown from
possibly a Jurasik collection in the Pamir mountains. I think a psammiris, maybe potaniniii.

Thanks
John B

How lovely, John  - a sort of "ghostly" flower.    Iris potaninii is the most likely, isn't it?

 From earlier in the forum :

and the next two  have good photos  of Iris potaninii .... as it was decided to be!

A friend gave me last year a wrong labelled pot and to my
surprise a 10 cm high Iris started to flower.
I think, that it is Iris flavescens or another Psammiris, the
seed was collected in Mongolia.
Maybe one of the experts can help me with the true name.
