Yes David, I would do it similar to Chris' version more like this but larger images

Mark, speaking personally I would like to see them on your Web Site. Chris (Hristo) did all the hard work in putting the pictures together though so perhaps you should ask him if he is happy.

Lesley, Batman has lots of abilities, many yet unheard of!

Seriously - Batman is a river and a city in southeast Turkey.

Oh, indeed he has!!

Two new Irises named by me in BURIED TREASURES
Iris reticulata subsp. kurdica - feature which I didn't noted before - black anthers. In all other my reticulatas anthers are yellow or white
On other Iris pskemense - intermediate between kolpakowskiana and winkleri - by me most beautiful Central Asian reticulata.
Janis
Janis, is Buried Treasures book of yours?  Do you have a website?  Have not really grown the Reticulate Iris genera except in pots in UK in sunny spots!!!!!  I think the two in your photographs are absolute treasures and I agree that Iris pskemense is the most beautiful sight.....


Yes it is my book.

Tony- it's easy - if there aren't any bees around just get your finger in there!

I like bees in greennhouse. In two of my greenhouses are bee hive in each. They do a lot of pollination for me. Of course, hybrids occur, but sometimes they are excellent! Just this spring bloomed marvellous crocus, and my Allium hybrids all are made by bees.

If I want 100% true seed - I use very thin brush byable in artists shops. Here reported as made from squirrels... In reticulatas and Junos I'm simply inserting brush in and out between fall and style branches (from front) and all is done. Only warning - several Turkish Juno stenophylla especially but persica, galatica, too - if they set seeds - seed capsules are large and very full with seeds but in 90% bulb will be lost or you will harvest very small replacement bulb.

Thanks Janis & all
I have had seed from Junos regularly but the ones I grow flower later than the reticulata iris so there are more bees around.  Next year I will try hand pollinating as you suggest.

Maggi,

And you can't go past the orchid genus Dracula, and the obviously humorous botanist that named a black flowered member of that genus Dracula vampira (which I grow incidentally, although I have not flowered it as yet).

I saw some very dark ones in the botanical garden in Lund Sweden and like to share them with You.
They might be slightly less black in real life but they were dark.
Kind regards
