Looks very promising, Rafa!
I wish you good luck :)

Do you have any space left in the refrigerator for food? ;D

Hello,
I was very interested in Rafa's way for aril seeds.
Unfortunatly, I already have sown all my onco seeds 3 weeks ago, after soaking, leaving the pots outdoor.
Do you think I should remove them to try to cut them ?

Many thank's for help,
best,
Fred

Sharon McAllister in her last article, mentioned that she use "forced germination" as a last opption, because you could lost all if you haven't a good steril medium. Certenly, this method is very agresive, like embryo culture... Hans and I could tell you many examples of succes and non success using the same proceedings, fungicides etc...

I recommend you to wait one month or so. If nothing happen, maybe you can retire the aril and the sking, and wait another month. If you dont have any result cut the layer to discover the embryo and put them in the fridge in humid perlite. I don't recomend Vermiculite after a great dissaster  ;)

Diane Whitehead did an experiment with Iris acutiloba subsp. lineolata very intereting, I think is in the second page or so..

Which species are you growing?

Half of the species are in 12x12x12 cm plastic pots, the other ones in 12x12x20 ou 16x16x23 cm plastic pots.
Soil is 90% of gravel with 10% loam + some potassium and bone meal.

You're right Rafa, most of them comes from Mayr, seeds from Archibald, and some from other various sources.  ;)
