Iris unguicularis  of any type is lovely - but that is a real beauty, Gerhard   8)

Coincidentally, I sowed seed of the white flowered form today (courtesy of the seedex). Presumably the pot can stay outside uncovered until germination?

Hi steve I have grown a few iris from seed and have left them outside during the winter and they have germinated the following spring. I also have some iris from the seedex so will do the same with these, it obviously does them no harm.

Gerhard,
I can just echo Maggi and Melvyn, it is a real beauty.
I've never seen such a form before.

I wonder if Gerhard's plant is the same being shown in the UK as  Iris unguicularis 'Peloponnese snow' J&FK1024 - this photo from Rob C.  for the thread on the South Wales AGS show a couple of years ago :


I also wondered if J & FK is the same as F & JK  = Fritz and Josefa Kummert ?  I've emailed to Fritz and Sefi to ask....  ???

Yes of course, it is the same clone. I `ve got it from Fritz, who has found it on the Peloponnese some years ago. Fritz has sent the pot shown in the pict to GB, it was his aim to name it and to bring it in horticulture. It is an extraordinary clone, which is a perfect grower, and willing to bloom, much better then other named clones.

Really stunning plants. The name 'Peloponnese Snow' is given to the pure white or the one with blue on the falls?

At the moment I`ve got the plant, it wasn`t named. So probably it was named in GB.....

Name may have been given in UK  by Robert Rolfe.
Is that pure white form with yellow tube in your post in the UK, do you know?

Yes, this pure white clone I have got from Colin Mason / Birmingham. Two or three years ago I have visited him.
