Bearded Iris 2010

[Oron Peri]

May be someone can help me with name of this beautiful very dwarf Iris from near Lake Van in NW of Asiatic Turkey? It is only 10 cm high, blooms very abundantly for the first time with me.

Looks like Iris attica, but as far as i know it isn't recorded from that area, the question is if it was introduced there.
Do you have a specific location?

It is very close to lake Abant (on road from Goynuk to Abant), some 30 km W from lake Abant. I suppose it could be suaveolens? What is your opinion?
Janis

Janis i would say I. attica, for the size and the brownish falls.

Now i have seen you have changed its original location from Lake Van to lake Abant, so its definitaly I. attica, it is recorded from Bolu which is close to lake Abant.

iris melitta

I do like the way you grow your iris, Christian, it show the shapes off so well especially in the groups when sometimes the individuals merge.  Iris melitta is a wonderful soft lavender colour.

[christian pfalz]

thanks robin, i like this small iris forms, but itīs not easy for me here in germany to buy special iris, like juno, onco etc.
in my area there are no specialists who cultivatet these forms, thatīs a shame for me....
greetings

[arillady]

Christian you will just have to do what I have to do for most of my irises - grow from seed.
You do have some really lovely forms and set against the grey gravel and rocks is superb.

[christian pfalz]

hi, iīll taste it with seed....

2. Iris furcata caerulea

[PeterT]

Your furcata caerulea is beautifull

[arillady]

Juri all the species are grown so well. Do they all grow outside all year? I will need to put Iris furcata violacea and caerulea on my wants list and take note when seed lists arrive.

[olegKon]

Yes, all of them are outside exposed to the extremes of weather with little attention but weeding

Sorry Oleg for the wrong name - trying to do too much at once.
