Re: Re: Iris foetidissima yellow seeds

I couldn't find any photos of the Golden Gobbet flower on my hard drive, 
but I seem to remember they are indistinguishable from the average 
run-of-the-mill foetidissima.  I also grow Albo fructa, but it hasn't ever 
set seed for me.  The flowers & plants are always stunted, and the flowers 
are bluer than normal, but not at all impressive.

Here are some links from someone's garden in the Netherlands:
