They say Iris tectorum does not have a lot of variability compared to most species, so I was interested to see what was special about the type from Sun Moon Lake area.  I obtained seed from the Species Iris Group of North America (SIGNA) seed exchange, and I am very pleased with the results.

Gadzooks!  Look at those crests!

The iris season is starting in the Southern hemisphere! The Retics are in bud and the winter iris are also out.
In the Sand bed this Juno, Iris planifolia has flowered for the second time!


It was grown from seed and even produced a pod itself last year!

Hello Tom, and welcome to the NARGS forum!  Very glad you stopped in.  I looked at your website, too, and am impressed.  I went to bookmark it, and found I already had it bookmarked!  (So many good sites I don't want to forget - but I do anyway!)  your site kinda says you started with iris only in 2010.  But your knowledge indicates a much longer iris love affair.  Did you garden somewhere else previously?

Hi Tom,
no they are fruit of the Mexican Hawthorn (Crataegus pubescens, syn CC mexicana, stipulacea).

Fermi, my best bulb catalog carries some of the Iris reticulatas you mentioned, like Pixie and Natascha, but unfortunately not Pauline.  Looks like a wonderful little iris.
