Thanks Luc... it seems worthy of a cultivar name, such a beauty.

Gorgeous Junos Luc!  Up until a few years ago, when deer came in an ate all my Junos to mere nubs (which had the effect of weakening the bulbs and introducing rot with severed leaf-bases catching moisture, decimating my large clumps), I had two forms of I. magnifica, one with the typical tinge of blue, but the other a clean white. Neither were of known provenance.

'Swan Wings' is aptly named, really beautiful delicate ascending "wings" on that one, I'm not familiar with this cultivar. Good to see what pure I. warleyensis looks like, very pretty.

On your Iris bucharica x vicaria 1st generation hybrid, is this a hybrid of your own creation?  I don't see much evidence of vicaria in it, I would assume such a cross would show a bit of blue in the flower, but I know very little about Juno crosses and what plant characteristics prevail in hybrid progeny.

Mark,
This juno hybrid was grown from Alan McMurtrie seeds distributed via the Archibald list.

A few more:
Iris bucharica x warleyensis "Blue Warlsind"
Iris chamaeiris just starting
Iris mandshurica

Wonderful seeing photos of Iris mandshurica, darn near impossible to find a photo of this small Iris on the web. I know it from "Iris of China" by James Waddick and Zhao Yu-tang; inside there's a good photo of this small pseudoregelia.  It is not found at terribly high elevations, but since it is also found in the USSR, it suggests this species would be hardy outside.  Luc, I may sound like a broken record, but can you tell us where you obtained this little goodie?

This is a plant I got as Iris chamaeiris but because of priority of names it should be called Iris lutescens.
This is the violet clone with the typical yellow beard.
Iris lutescens is a plant of dryish grassy places occuring in NE-Spain, S-France and Italy.

I didn't know Iris reichenbachii came in a purple form!  Very nice, Luc!

Amy, be sure to hold your seeds over for at least two years if they don't germinate the first season.  There can always be the odd deviant seed, but some species need 2-3 cold treatments for best germination.

Best of Luck!

Iris reichenbachii is very variable Rick. I have plants with yellow, brownish-yellow, wine-red and purple flowers.
