Re: Iris furcata and Iris perrieri

Edmundas,
Thank you for sharing that information. It is very interesting. I'm 
wondering if what I have is really Iris furcata or maybe a clone of 
Iris aphylla. I wish my memory were better....I just looked at the 
two irises labeled Iris furcata and Iris perrieri about an hour ago 
and noticed that both had flower stalks with branches coming from the 
base of the fan. If I'm remembering right, the supposed Iris furcata 
was the one with two stalks (a stalk and a branch) and purple 
spathes. And the Iris perrieri was the one with three stalks (one 
stalk and two branches) and green spathes. But either way, both of 
these irises have basal branching. If Iris furcata doesn't branch 
from the base of the fan, I may have a mislabelled clone of Iris 
aphylla. 
The bloomtime would be right to distinguish it from Iris pumila, as 
my Iris pumila has been finished blooming for close to two weeks, and 
the supposed Iris furcata has not opened yet. Also the branching, I 
would think, would distinguish it from pumila.
I will have to keep an eye on these irises to see about flower 
characteristics and fertility with diploids. 
Thank you again for your help.
Tom
