Title: Wanted - photo of Iris reticulata seed capsule.
Post by: Darren on March 23, 2015, 08:05:01 AM

Hi,

I'm halfway through a botanical painting of an Iris reticulata. I don't think the seed capsules will be developed enough for me to depict before my deadline in 4 weeks time. Therefore I wondered if anyone would be able to provide a photograph of a mature capsule I can use for reference? One dehiscing would be even better so I could illustrate the seeds as well. A separate close-up of seeds would also be great - I looked on the seed identification thread but no reticulate Iris have been posted as far as I can see.

Hi Darren. Look at the Reticulata thread in Iris and find posts by Alan McMurtrie.
Go to his profile and PM him.  He should have something.
