Re: minutoaurea

 

Mark; I believe it is native to Japan but in a preliminary search it seems I come up with known in cultivation in Japan. It is closely related to Iris koreana which comes from Korea so it may also come from there. It seems to like my pot culture with a scree mix and I let it set out all winter under deciduous trees. It started blooming before the trees were fully leafed out. Shown be easy in a 9inch squat pot.

Iris minuto-aurea looked great two days ago. I wish I could put it in the Virtual iris Show. Keep those entries coming and we will show people lots of species they have not seen.
