Juno (Scorpiris) - Season 2010

[Janis Ruksans]

Janis , your yellow I. persica is very ,very beautyful . If I remember correctly it is the same form as the one Michael Kammerlander showed at the Prague Conference 3 years ago.

   You are fortunate to grow Crocus almehensis - thank you for the photo ,as I had never seen it before .

       Otto.

Yes, it is from the same stock.
Crocus almehensis unfortunately is clone and I still didn't got any seed. Would be pleased to swap one corm of mine (plain yellow back of petals) with another corm with striped brown back of petals.

Crazy mix of wonderful species everybody !
It seem's time for Juno's fireworks as come 
I'm waiting now for the final piece !!!

[LucS]

Something different: a seed-raised cross between Iris bucharica and Iris vicaria

[David Nicholson]

Nice LucS, did you raise it yourself?

[LucS]

I did. Seed was sown some 8 years ago.

Last year I got nice present - Iris palestina. I was very disappointed seeing how it develops large leaves in autumn and thought - it certainly will die in winter. Spring came with frost killed leaves and really I thought that bulb died, too. But today - greatest surprise - in rosette of frost killed yellow leaves came up this flower.
On other pictures two forms of Iris galatica and
Iris stenophylla from Moca gec. and its variant described as Siehe under name I. tauri. Are they different - I don't know. When Arnis and I collected it at locus classicus we felt that foliage is different, but is it sufficient? I don't know.

Janis,you are very lucky with I palastina. I too like your yellow I persica and the dark tips on the galatica are lovely. Here the weather is so good all the junos seem in a rush! I am limited to the pictures I can post until I learn to reduce their size but here is Iris warlyensis from seed.

Resizing is very easy. Open picture, click on IMAGE, will open window where you can click on RESIZE, write in dimensions 480 or 640 (depends from your picture - is it vertical or horizontal), if dimensions goes out of those limits, put lower cipher in one of dimension for length x width will not exceed 300 000 pixels, confirm with OK. After that again click on IMAGE and click on SHARPEN (it will make more sharp pictutre after resizing). After that pres ctrl+S, will appear windor - do you want to save, you confirm YES and next click in window - do you want to replace existing file - YES. And all is done. It seem difficult, but is very easy. Start, try and you wil see, how easy it is.
WARNING If you don't want to loss original large size picture you must to create copy of it. I opened on my screen special folder (I named it ScRGCl Forum) in which I'm copying all pictures which I want to show on forum and I'm resizing just those copies and originals remain without changes in their original place.

- do you want to replace existing file - YES. I'd say NO.... because that will forever reduce  your picture.... better to say NO and save the resize with a new name or in another place, as Janis says.

Thank you Janis, Maggie. I seem to be learning slowly, if these pictures work they are I tubergeniana which I bought as one bulb from you Janis, and a seedling which looks very like graeberiana Yellow Fall, but I grew it from seed which was supposed to be species. Peter

[Janis Ruksans]

Iris persica seedling bloomed for the first time, some more are coming.
