after a Saturday with sunshine,
a new species from Bazoft in Iran in two forms
No. 1 certainly is Iris zagrica (just recently named), No. 2 looks as bluish form of it.
Janis

I agree : I have this species too and it is the same plant : Iris zagrica  ;) (doesn't matter the name of the picture : I searched after for the real name and did not change the name of the pic...  ::) )

the plant I have under the name "Iris hyrcana" : I like this blue !

and this year only a single flower of Iris pamphylica  :'(
It looks more 'Natasha' than hyrcana. Attached typical hyrcana and very rare, the lightest what I saw, but it is lost.
Janis

Yes I'm sure know that it is 'Natascha' but I'm unpleased as it came from Paul Christian  >:(

Very nice plants Janis and Bio  ;)
I agree with Bio ( of course, he's a compatriot  ;D ) It's really not pleasant to buy a plant, sometimes quite expensive, and to get another one !

A certain seller of rare stuff on the interent has an end of season sale, I find this is the best time to buy because if and when things turn out to be something else you have minimised your losses! The big problem I think is always going to be buying from sources where one suspects many of the bulbs are not grown by the supplier but are passed on without being grown on, sadly this means the veracity of the naming is never checked!
When it comes to buying the rarer and more expensive juno and reticulate Iris species I pretty much exclusively buy my plants from a certain gent in Lativia! ;) ;)

You Chris, and others in the north are very fortunate to have that opportunity. Our MAF doesn't allow us, never mind the difficulties of persuading such things to turn their seasons upsidedown! :'(

I have a picture from Goth bot garden of Iris reticulata that must be exactly the same as you showed Janis, with the name Iris reticulata subsp kurdica. (Collection number Batman 118)

Hi there,
Attached updated version of Iris reticulata type id page, please check, argue, and send pics to be added!
Many thanks for contibruted pics, if you want a full file size version let me know and I will e-mail it to you.
(Attachment Link)


Edit by Maggi: I have attached the composite pic in enlarged size for ease of viewing.... I know it means a little scrolling.... but it's worth it!  Obviously, you may still wish to contact usabout a larger file size version.

Fantastic Hristo.  Maybe you would also like to do one for the Galanthus species and hybrids!   ;D

John, I fear that route leads only to insanity! I was never good at binary maths, so substitute 10010001 for green,white,white,green,white,white,white,green, I thnk you get the idea? Galanthus are nice but afraid I am an Iris and Orchid man as I love the often not so subtle diversity of colour and form!  ;) ;)

Yes, it is BATM-118 and another BATM-125 (not flowering with me this spring). Attached picture BATM-125 from previous year.

Dirk - what is the secret to getting reticulate iris to set seed?  I have never got any seed but you clearly have the knowledge to make it happen!
