Some Iris reichenbachii forms blooming for me now. The first (brownish) one is raised from seed from an Archibald collection in Kevala, Greece. The yellow one is from Mt. Vikos, Greece. The violet ones are from Jurášek seed, I do not know the geographic origin.
-
Iris pumila cultivars 'Royal Wonder' and 'Wild Whispers'
-
Two Iris pumila forms of wild origin: the first from Sevan Lake, Armenia; the second from Balkaria in the Russian Caucasus
-
A couple Iris pumila from my own crosses.
-
A hybrid, Iris aphylla X Iris pumila. Less than 12 cm in height, it nevertheless has a basal branch and a total of 4 buds.
-
A couple nice minitature dwarf bearded cultivars: 'Dollop of Cream' and 'Miniseries'
-
[attach=1]Iris, Boo
Iris [attach=2] Little blue eyes.
-
Iris lutescens, from the SRGC seed exchange.

Iris subbiflora from Spain

Iris subbiflora from Spain
Do you know from where it comes in Spain ? Iris subbiflora is only from Portugal (and N Africa ?), as a disjuncted population/species from the eastern populations of Iris lutescens (see FLora-on and Anthos.es)

I think it grows in western Andalucía anyway Yvain, for example in the beautiful karst area south of Antequera, as shown here (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10425.msg276028#msg276028).

Iris subbiflora is not fully recognized by flora iberica but, from what I understand in Flora iberica, Iris subbiflora is used for the western populations, i.e. from Portugal. If you look at the distribution of Iris lutescens in Spain (anthos.es), there is very few gap between the catalan populations and the andalusian ones. A friend of mine have made a study on the distribution of the color pattern of Iris lutescens and all the spanish populations were include in I. lutescens (see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/301335252_Neutral_processes_contribute_to_patterns_of_spatial_variation_for_flower_colour_in_the_Mediterranean_Iris_lutescens_Iridaceae (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/301335252_Neutral_processes_contribute_to_patterns_of_spatial_variation_for_flower_colour_in_the_Mediterranean_Iris_lutescens_Iridaceae)). There was no genetic differention of the two population sampled in southern Spain.
Fernandes & Fernandes (Lagascalia 15 (Extra), 1988 see http://editorial.us.es/es/lagascalia/vol_15ex (http://editorial.us.es/es/lagascalia/vol_15ex)) studied I. subbiflora and say that it is also in Spain and around Tanger but they studied only Potuguese populations.
I prefer to use subbiflora only for the disjuncted populations from Portugal.

Iris timofejeweii from AGS 16/17 seedex started Jan 2017.
This is shorter than forms i have grown before.

This popped up as a seedling in my plunge.I think it's come off my yellow Iris schactii
And a small I.suaveolens

Something went wrong with Michael's last post , and I couldn't seem to fix it - so here it is ....

Thanks Michael - I've made the correction- no idea what had happened with the original post !
-
A cat destroyed, using his teeth, several labels....but the irises are still there ;D
-
SDB irises 'Abuzz with Charm', 'Heart Stopper', and 'Raspberry Ice'
-
Different color of Iris lutescens. All type of color were present in the same population near Montpellier (southern France). The last blue one is the rarest.
-
Fascinating assortment of Iris lutescens

Welcome, chanc4! Easy to see where the charm of these Iris lies, isn't it?

Crumbs! In the equivalent of Northern Hemisphere February??!!

in an unusual time in september this blue-white Beard-Iris startet to flower. This looks like three Caraveles in linie!

Iris taochia
This is flowering next to the Iris taochia pictured earlier and seems to be slightly different in colour or is it something else?
cheers

From what can be seen on the net, the last one looks a bit more like Iris taochia that the preceding one. But I'm not sure if any of the two are real I. taochia, above all if it comes from a seedex.

This one is from the SIGNA database Fermi, hope it might be helpful.

Thanks, David,
as it was grown from garden collected seed of a species originally collected in Turkey I guess it hybridised in the garden.
Still quite nice I think!
A few DBIs in the garden now:
DBI Lasagna
DBI Pastel Princess
DBI white (no label)
DBI Acid Test
unlabelled dusky purple - quite a different look to this one - I really must find the label!
cheers

A few more now flowering:
DBI 'Cat's Eye'
DBI 'Smooch'
DBI 'Larrikin'
Arilmed iris 'Orb'

The label for this one is blank!
I seem to remember planting some iris but not having a pencil to write a label at the time :-[ and never got back to write it!
I think it might be the Iris reichenbachii which I grew from seed from Marcus Harvey sown 20-04-2013 (see reply #101 http://www.mgsforum.org/smf/index.php?topic=595.90 (http://www.mgsforum.org/smf/index.php?topic=595.90)

if that can help to compare here is my own Iris reichenbachii (Romania) bloomed in April this year.
-
There are a few that look similar that I have found, but I still think I reichenbachii.
Iris attica flower can look the same except it is virtually stemless, with their floral tub coming from the base of the plant.
Iris suaveolens has the same shape. It can easily grow straight leaves in an unnatural environment, but when grown in more austere conditions, leaves will be strongly falcate. In my experience, suaveolens never has even close to the length of flower stem that yours does. However reichenbachii does. Reichenbachii is more often with a netted color pattern, too, and the mix of colors is common. Yours is quite nice. When I hybridize yellow with purple, I get a lot of very drab and dirty coloring.
-
F1 hybrids of yellow x purple might be mud-coloured, Rick - but perhaps F2 and later generations will be prettier?
-
You're definitely right, Maggie. As you well know, this is common practice among hybridizers.
