Re: veriscolor seeds, request

Ok. I'll go rooting around in the swamp. Somebody must have told you I just found the charger for the camera this morning.

Hi Sue,
 
That is wonderful...you have them handy as opposed to me. Can you send the pic to Dennis? If yours are not ready, the ones up here in the north country may or may not be ready. We have had some low temps overnight this week. Sometimes, our abbreviated growing season extends to the total time from emergence to pod. Not fair, right Sue?

I've got some growing wild. Lots but the pods are still very green. I did a little squeeze a couple days ago and they aren't ready

Dennis,
 
I hope someone else has some Iris versicolor growing in the wild near them. Near my old property about 30 miles east of here, there were some wonderful strands of versicolor along a dirt road in the forest.  I did collect several pods from them for a few years and sent some to the SIGNA seed exchange and also to several friends. I think Ginny Prins in Canada bloomed some of them.
 
I wasn't an Iris versicolor ''fan' so I didn't plant any myself. This is the time of year that the pods should  be ripening so if no one else sends you any, let me know and I will trek over the mountain with my digital camera and see if I can find a pod ot two and photograph them in the wild and also take a pod home with me if they are in abundance. Hate to take a pod in the wild it is an only.
