Whoops, forgot Late Amethyst
-
very nice, John. Eisblau has a very interesting colour. My regelias are still at least three weeks from blooming.
-
Great selection John, Andromache is a favourite!
-
They are very lovely John, with ALMOST enough aril in them to make them like the real thing. ;D
-
Very fine plants John. :)
-
OK, my first aril of the season, regelia-SDB hybrid 'Vera-Ruby, from Lawrence Ransom. Very robust, smaller bloom, like a table iris, 2 per scape. It has a wonderfull fragrance, somewhat similar to Lily of the Valley. here are two different fotos, one with a dark T-Shirt background, the other in full light.
-
My first regelia species are starting to flower now
Iris hoogiana var purpurea and 2 different forms of Iris stolonifera
-
Once again, Fred, very beautiful shots.
I have Helicopter, but it has yet to bloom for me. Can't wait!
-
one with a dark T-Shirt background
You can learn so much in this Forum... who knew that oncos wore t-shirts?? ;D ;D
Fred, your photos are exquisite 8)
-
here are a few shots of a sister to 'Vera-Ruby', the somewhat pinker 'Vera-Beatrice'. Just for fun, I've made a few close-ups to see some of the subtle colour and patterning. They were mis-labeled, therefore, change the name should you have saved them to your files, before I edited them.

where do you dig up these great emoticons? That one is a killer!
-
The dwarf regelia hybrid Vera-Anne, another of the Vera sisters from Ransom.
A smaller and delicate flower on a robust 14" or so plant.
-
Gorgeous flower Jamie !!
-
The clean yellow with a shot of blue is very lovely. :D
-
Pity that the Vera irises are not in Oz. They are all lovely. Agree Jamie that Maggi seems to find some great emoticons.
-
Pat,
yeah, the emoticons thing is just plain old unfair. :-X :P
Lawrence has told me all the Vera girls are non-fertile, but I may have some pods with the pollen on SDBs. They are over a week now and growing, so, just maybe. I couldn't get any pods to take on them, but the pollen may be partially good with the right mate. His 'Benazir', also listed as infertile, took a pod with 'Afrosiab' last year, but I lost the seed to mice! (here is where I need a special emoticon! :'( )
-
(here is where I need a special emoticon! )
Try this one for size, Jamie

-
In Vera-Anne, where does the yellow come from Jamie?
-
Lesley,
it is a cross of 'Vera' with an SDB, but this pollen parent is uncertain, either 'Third Charm' or 'Triplicate'. Certainly the yellow comes from this side of the heritage.

Here are some regelias in flower with me, I stolonifera White Flag, Iris stolonifera seedling, Iris hoogiana Blue Mount, Iris hoogiana Alba
-
and Iris korolkowii, every year the neck of some of the buds wilts, what causes this?
-
Peter,
beautiful flowers. I've not experienced this wilting with arils, but in other plants I've attributed it to Fusarium. There are quite a few pathogens that can cause this collape of the vascular system. I've never found a cure, but it rarely is life threatening.

hi, anyone an idea what iris itis ?
this foto is from last year, in a few weeks it blomms again...

Hi Chris. This looks like one of the Louisiana species, I. nelsonii or I. fulva.

Chris here is a photo of I. fulva dwarf from Iris City Gardens website.

The white hoogiana is a beauty Jamie. Very elegant and pristine.
From the shape of the flower I would suggest the red iris could be one of the taller spuria hybrids which are around nowadays in many colours and shades. It would help if we could see the leaves Chris. How tall is it in bloom?

Looks like Iris fulva to me, grows in water, tiny rust red flowers and zig-zag stems
-

Christian try this website: http://www.signa.org/index.pl?Species
Peter T you have some beauties. I have yet to flower Iris stolonifera White Flag and both Iris hoogianas - the blue and the white. Great globular form.
-
thanks, very good page your link... :D

This hybrid called Dushanbe (which actually is the capital of Tajikistan) is about to open
-
Now there is a lovely picture, Oleg: full of promise :)
-
Hope to catch it open, Maggi. My congratulations with the successful show in Aberdeen
-
Thank you, Oleg, we are lucky to have a wonfderful Team to make the Show run smoothly.
You are quite right when you say that your Spring is looking very much like summer! So many flowers so quickly.... the garden must be a real delight for you at the moment.
-
The dry conditions don't fit with Iris fulva but the height doesn't fit with the modern spuria hybrid. Maybe a new pic when it is in flower this year, and the whole plant please, foliage and flowers.
Thanks Chris.
-
'Dunshanbe' is a wonderful parent! Nice shot of it in bud. The name of the city has an 'n' in the registered name, perhaps the relic of a translation, as I've seen the city spellt different ways on different maps.
Here is 'Eastern Blush', a cross of 'Vera' x 'Faux Pas', a tall bearded.
-
The deep-coloured spathe is a great support for the flower colour. While that purple is not my favourite, I do like this very much and it has a wonderful stature or "presence." :)
-
hi lesley, photos in bloom follow...

Lesley, you hit the nail on the head, it has presence. The colouring is a bit strange at first and, as the genes of arils and beardeds mix in unexpected ways, one often sees strange blends that, when scrutinized, don't look like they should work together, but somehow do. Mother nature just keeps on trying. Mind you, I'm sure there were a few truly ugly siblings! ::)

By the way, the word means Monday in Persian,Tajick and Dari. Literary - "the second day", the first day of the week was Sunday there and Monday used to be a market day. So, you see, it was a market town centuries back.

Oleg,
now that is interesting. I love knowing from where names and words come from, as well as their meanings.
Thanks for sharing this,
Jamie

Soon, I hope. This is the NON-iris time in New Zealand. ;D
-

Well my sister has a truly ugly sibling and both are reasonably happy. :) Anyway, those odd colourings are what I love about the whole aril section. In what other flowers do we consistently see greens, greys, browns, blacks and those odd oyster colours that make arils so classy?
-
"Dushanbe" is on
-
Oh yes, that is magnificent!
