Re: Welcome Jacky

 

Jacky; Happy to have you join our group. you should be able to grow lots of wonderful species.

 

I usually think of Iris siberica as a mountain meadow plant and am surprised it grows wild in your moderate area. I live in zone 7 in North Carolina and siberians can be grown hear but are not delighted by our hot summers and I think they would like colder winters. Your plants sound like they may be adapted to warmer locations and perhaps seed would do better for our zone 7, 8 and 9 members then typical Iris siberica. Be aware the SIGNA seed exchange is coming up and you might like to try some other species. I hope you also hav discovered the Iris Encyclopedia we are creating on the American Iris society website. Photos of I. siberica and I. maritima in their native habitats would be great to add. It is a wiki that everyone can contribute to. Have a glorious Christmas Season

Hi Mark, Liselotte and all.
 
Charente-Maritime is on the West coast, near the Atlantic, above Bordeaux.
 
Here, the sea moderates and we have a temperate climate : usually winter is mild and summer not too warm ...with few exceptions...of course.
In our aera, we can find plants as Iris sibirica (who remains since the last glaciation) and other ones as Iris spuria maritima (who is a mediterranean one).
 
Have a fine Christmas season. Jacky

Hi all,
 
I'm a new member.
As a wish card, in attachment, a picture of Iris sibirica. I grow it  for about ten years. It is the species type and we can see it in the wild in Charente Maritime where I live. In next September, I'll get seeds for you, if you want.
Jacky Duruisseau, in France.
