 Hi Peter, good to see you around the forum again.

 Have you got a  JJA number for the Iris so I can add it to the archive pix?

Thankyou Maggie, and yes, but too dark in the green house to find it tonight. Also had another stenophylla flower from JJA seed, I'll try to post that too.

Thanks Peter!
I have a single fosteriana from seed but this plant was a division kindly given to me by Cyril Lafong. I think he got the plant initially from Norman Stevens (Cambridge Bulbs) some years back.

I am getting better at growing Junos (and Oncos), but I have along way to go to match the quality of the photos from Steve.  They are truly magnificent.   :P

Hello!

here are my first junos from seeds on their way...



I assume they need some year before flowering.

I am thrilled to see the photos of Iris stenophyla ssp. allisonii as I still have 2 (of the 4 which germinated) of this plant, seed from Michael Kammelander sent to Otto F in Australia and generously shared with me. The 4 germinated in 2013, 4 came up in 2014 but only 2 in the spring of 2015. Both are now under the pot surface but still there and quite large. I'll die happy if I can get them to flower eventually. :)
