Iris parvula ex Uzbekistan. A somewhat underwhelming wee plant.

Taken in Kyrgyzstan this year. I'd welcome confirmation of species names. I have an idea but not so sure on the blue....

Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

Servus...Otto

The Iris (juno) aitchisonii looks fantastic. Waiting was worth it.

germinating juno iris - advice?
« Reply #20 on: October 13, 2018, 08:14:40 AM »
Im hoping to grow my first Junos from seed (collected earlier this year). They are 'iris aucheri indigo' x ? and Juno rosenbachiana_Sogor. Ive been trying to do my homework on-line and think this Ive come up with an approach based on what I could find from people with expertise. Can anyone tell me if this is likely to work and clarify if I should scarify too? Am I missing anything here?

Juno iris germination

  • Soak seeds in rain water or boiled water with drop of detergent for 48 hours
    Put in free draining potting mix (using perlite) with a 2 cm layer of vermiculite/gravel on top
    Three seeds per pot maximum
    Soak the whole thing one time and then leave through winter
    Leave somewhere cool, like in an unheated greenhouse,  and in spring: germination
    Keep in initial pot or two years

My first Juno of the season. Iris palaestina

The smell is amazing....somehow apple-ish. Or could that be the colours?

I bought the bulb from Greece in late July and it got started in growth straight away. It's been in doors for a few weeks after the first early frosts. It's so cute
