Iris xanthospuria in witih Iris spuria musulmanica [2 Attachments]

---

Two plants from SIGNA seeds 03M126 labeled Iris spuria musulmanica collected Van, Turkey have bloomed for me in recent years. One looks correct. The color pattern is as expected and the haft of the fall rolls up into a tube when it reaches the blade of the fall. The first photo shows it. The second iris is a also spuria but very is different. The BIS Guide indicates that yellow Iris spuria msulmanica has been found, but this plant seems much more like Iris xanthospuria. There is no tube on the fall and the style crest curves back strongly as the bloom matures.

I'll send along some comparisons with smaller Iris xanthospuria collected at the other end of Turkey.
