species ID needed
« 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

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

 From earlier in the forum :

http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=7074.msg205083#msg205083  - one from Luc G.  that  was thought to be I. potaninii by Peter Taggart 2011

http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=11642.msg301170#msg301170   similar query  to yours, 2014

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.
