unknown Iris
« on: May 20, 2009, 12:25:54 PM »
This lovely Iris was bought in the Czech Republic during the Rock Garden Club conference. It has flowered for the first time this year. The label says "Iris sp. Turkey". What might be distinctive is the blue flower casing

The flowers are long lived compared to other Iris I have. This flower is 5 days old with no sign of deteriation

It looks like I. schachtii.
You can see another photo of it at the thread 'Iris from Turkey' that Ozgur have posted earlier.

Mark,
It looks to me as suaveolens. These two pics are from plants originating in Turkey (Cocaeli). Since they occur both in yellow and lilac I would assume that the lilac casing would be natural but I have no picture or memory of that.

Hello,

Can somebody help me with the name of this Iris? It is a wild collection.
I don't know from where.

It's possibly a hybrid involving this species.
