Hmm.... prior to last year, I don't recall getting seeds from my Iris 
cretensis.  They've bloomed every year since I got them in 1998, but 
last year was the first time I collected any seeds.  Perhaps I passed 
along Iris cretensis seeds that I got from elsewhere?  I don't remember.

Anyway, it's kinda funny (for me) that this happened... because it 
exemplifies the frustration I've had with sowing mislabelled seeds, 
and that it prompted me to create the species database way back in 
the 20th century.  LOL.  Only this time I guess I was the cause of 
the frustration, rather than the recipient!

To my eye, that's gotta be some kind of Siberian.

If you want some Iris cretensis that really came from Crete, I can 
send you some starts later in the season.  They're totally hardy 
outdoors in Z6.  Mine are blooming now... almost continuously for 2 
weeks straight, and still going strong.  Woo hoo!

PS:  I'll check my old emails & notes to see if I can scrounge up any 
info on those mysterious seeds I sent.
