Re: Iris albicans surprise

 

Anita,
 Iris albicans comes from Saudi Arabia and Yemen. As for the Lycoris, that doesn't grow here [Darn!] but I had it in Kentucky. It took a rain to bring it into bloom.

Mark, where does the albicans iris come from originally?
I'm wondering if this might be a survival trait.

[I have a large bed of Lycoris Squamigera that refuses to bloom until it gets a bit of August rain on it each year.]
