Very nice Iris fosteriana Hans. I had it in flower last year so very likely not this year.
This Iris persica is a very pale one isn't it ?  Do you have other colour varieties ?

Iris fosteriana was grown from Archibaldseed - so maybe your is relative of mine. ;)

As I used a model of a provider it is easy, but time is missing to complete it.

I have the same species in flower now, but the colouring of the lip is much darker Hans.
Does anyone know if the plants are that variable ?

Tony Hall confirmed that this is the real iris stenophylla s.s. from the Taurus.

Juno rosenbachiana Varzob only commercial name.
Flora Tadjikistan clearly separates from Juno nicolai and Juno rosenbachiana.
There are botanical differences. But in a real kind. They are very variable species, like Juno maracandica and Juno narbuti. Colors
individual species you will see in the Gallery on my website.

Some of my favourites amonghst all my bulbs, the beautifull iris rosenbachiana, below is one referred to as "form 1", very closely related to rosenbachiana darwas strain, and secondly is rosenbachiana Tovil Dara, or Tovil Dora ( i have seen both spellings used, so I am not sure which name applies to the plant, but it is from near the town of Tovil dora in south eastern Tajikistan)

like most spring bulbs they started flowering 2-3 weeks later than usual here. the last flower on rosenbachiana form 1 is still in bloom, and as they generally produce several flowers per bulb, it has now been in flower for 5 weeks, with their excellent perfume!

Interesting to see iris nicolai under snow. I have read that it is slightly tender, and sometimes flowers in january, but as the puicture shows, it doesent seem to mind the cold and snow?

Thank you Jan,

yes they seem to enjoy Switzerland. They are also enjoying their new spot in my Afghanistan/Tajikistan bed, with differet gravels, stones, rocks and fairly poor clayish soil, only with some humus, I tried to recreate their native conditions...

ps
I tried to open your website to try and view your junos and images, but I could not acess it. Do you have another link? Do you also have a nursery? if so, what is your website link?

Pontus, the link by Jan functions with me without problems.

The rosenbachiana-forms have withered with me already. Later than usual blooms this year Iris kuschakewiczii.

Two Iris orchioides. I think, particularly ZZ216 is a very spectacular form. The other may be Khirghizian Gold of Janis Ruksans? Could  anyone  confirm the ID ?
Title: magnifica alba?
Post by: monocotman on April 24, 2013, 09:45:22 AM
Hi,
can anyone ID this plant as magnifica alba? It's another lost label.
After torturing it in a pot for several years I planted it out in the garden and it seem very happy,
even after last year's crappy weather.
Growth is far better in the soil than I could manage in a pot.
It grows on a dry south facing slope. There is graeberiana in the background.
Thanks,
David

"Tiefgelb" could be Khirghizian Gold
ZZ216 looks close to Urungachsai, but can't see details.

Greenhouse with Juno and Tulips in full bloom.
On separate pictures
Iris albomarginata - true from locus classicus
Iris vicaria - best form with very large flowers. It s seedling and may be hybrid. I not remember collecting so beautiful form in wild.

Iris cycloglossa is the latest Juno of the season, this year with a fantastic show, 26 bloom open today. When I started growing this species, I was told I'd get likely a failure, seeing this species is not well suited to hot Mediterranean climate and indeed at first it grew poorly. Once I understood its needs, I moved to a more suitable spot, half shaded especially at the base of the plant and it received ample waterings during growth, also in summer the place is not too dry. In a couple of years it has multiplied very well. Sorry for the bad quality of the photo, it was almost dark when I arrived in my orchard, but I am happy to show. BTW, this species is nicely scented. Janis, I wonder why any of you Juno bredeers haven't used this species yet, I think cycloglossa x magnifica could be a nice hybrid. Maybe they are not compatible?

Some more juno irises
Extremely rare I. hymenospatha leptoneura grown up from few seeds collected in Iran. This is first blooming.
Iris linifolia from Tadjikistan
Iris tadschicorum aff - although quite different, by opinion of Tony Hall - form of parvula
Iri8s tubergeniana collected near Taschkent, Uzbekistan
Iris kuschakewiczii from Kazahstan

This is the first of the Juno Iris planifolia to flower in the ground here but I know Pat Toolan in South Aust has had it in flower since last month if not longer!
The one in a pot finished a couple of weeks ago, so no chance to cross pollinate!

Title: Re: Juno Iris 2013
Post by: fermi de Sousa on August 19, 2013, 12:13:06 PM
Hi Pat,
Mine appears a lighter blue, though I don't have a clour chart to be able to give it an objective value!
The seed was donated to the NARGS Seedex by Otto's friend Erich Pasche! But I'm not sure if it was wild collected or second generation from the garden. My records are a bit sketchy about that sort of detail! :o
Is this one self fertile? Or do we need to swap pollen? ;D
cheers

Impeccable ;D
It doesn't look like pics of I. vicaria on the SIGNA database and it does have the distinctive wing on the side of the fall that Peter Taggart mentions on the entry on the SIGNA site.
It may be a bit elongated as it was overgrown by rampant Californian Poppies!

To my surprise the first flower on a juno in (for us) the new season.
This form of iris planifolia is from Tunesia.

Iris planifolia var. micrantha SL301

Wow Luc, this is early! Went in the garden with my maglite to check my plants of this species (what differences exist between species and ssp.micrantha?), but nothing to see.
My neighbours may think this crazy guy is looking for snails again which are not out because of the drought - still not learning after all the years he lives here...  :P ;D

var. micrantha is in fact a form with shorter leaves than the Spanish plants but with more or less the same size of flowers. And the plant comes from the other side of the Mediterranean.
This variety is now included in iris planifolia I think.
