Iris hyrcana, and easy one, more to come as 7-8 buds are ready to open in few days.

I have just updated
www.Reticulatas.com
with over 500 photos from 2020. The site shows a lot of my work to-date; including parentage. It focuses on 2n=18 Reticulatas since that's where I've opened up a whole new world of colours and patterns. It's hard to know what is possible until it "magically" appears. It's always a treat to see what opens for the first time each Spring. In the past, working with 2n=20 species and hybrids, I'd just get more of the same -- more blues and purples. I specifically tried to acquire collected forms with different genetics to what was in commerce in order to try to open up the expression in hybrids, but it didn't make a lot of difference. More collected forms are available now than in the 80s and 90s. At the time, White Caucasus showed promise, but since I was getting much more dramatic results from the 2n=18 hybrids I focused on those [see
www.reticulatas.com/1998-101.html
and compare results from the 98-OO and 98-NP crosses to the 98-YS cross which gave Holland Glory]. In recent years I have made some crosses (dabbled) with White Caucasus. We now know Norman Steven's Halkis is 2n=18, and the Adiyaman Retic is 2n=16 (I'm surprised how difficult its been to get to bloom -- it seemed to do well for John Amand), and we have the stoloniferous Iris
sisianica
[which has been converted to tetraploid, but material has not yet been delivered -- hopefully Fall 2021; but it could then be 2 years before it blooms (i.e. Spring 2024)]. Exciting possibilities for the future...
Variety is the spice of life.
I look forward to seeing what SRGC members post in 2021 -- old favourites, collected forms, etc.

Iris 'Alida'
Iris 'Clairette'
Iris 'Sheila Anne Germany'
Not sure about this one. It came as 'Halkis' which it isn't. 'Spot On'? 'Fabiola' ?

Thank you Maggie for uploading these photos!. My eyes are overwhelmed with so many little treasures! I only hope one day to grow these since most come from regions quite similar to mine. a lot of work ahead, starting with accessing seeds. We all hope that the pandemic will become harnessed and normal procedures can be re-instated. Meanwhile these beautiful photos are a balm.
