Fred,

thanks for confirming.  Do you have a shot of yours to share?

While I'm at it, I have a lot of Juno seedlings coming along, still in their seedling pots.  Should I leave them another season in the pots and just fertilize, or are they better off planted out?  I'm thinking of placing them with my arils, but that may be a bit too dry for them.  Any advice?

Jamie, I keep my Junoseedlings (small species) about three years in their seedlingspots as germination is very irregular and grow the older plants in same conditions as Oncos.

Thanks, Hans,

most of my seedlings are in their second season.  I was thinking they could handle another year in the pots, as long as they are fed.  Good to hear onco conditions seem to suite.

Fred,

most kind.  I immediately selfed two of the flowers, hoping they do take.  As I recall, Junos are not as recalcitrant to selfing as oncos and regelias.

Managed a couple of seconds with the Junos I entered in the South West AGS Show last Saturday. Might have managed firsts if the Show had been a week earlier. ;D

Still, here's a couple from today that I thought were not ready a few days ago.

Iris graeberians White Fall, this one from Augis Bulbs.

Iris magnifica, this one from PeterT

I do like the pure white of 'Agalik'
'Agalik' is light blue
pure white is 'Virginity'

I received this Juno as I. zenaidae.  Here are three shots to help in the diagnosis, as I really don't know what to look for in this species.  No detectable fragrance.  What ever it is, it is quite beautifull.
It is zenaidae!

Janis,

thanks!  It's nice to know I received what I ordered.  A real beauty.  We should all grow this one.  Seems pretty easy.

There can be only one other choice - the juno hybrid offered in trade as "graeberiana dark" - you can't separate it from zenaidae by flower. Single difference - true zenaidae is fertile, hybrid not and usually didn't form pollens.

Janis,
mine definitely has pollen and quite a bit at that.  Looks like I have the real thing, then.

Thanks,

Just beautiful persicas, Janis.  Yes, that green is quite special.  Will you be releasing any of these?
