Hi Robert, Mark and all.
Thank you very much for your hearty welcome to the
Iris Group.
I think the species (Iris sibirica) who grows in my
aera is adapted to the climate whe have here. I guess the ones who grow in
Central Europ (North France, Germany, Russia, etc) are adapted as well to colder
conditions. Here, we have snow from time to time but rarely ( 5 cm in last
February).
Yes, this iris does not like warm and here, in
spite of a temperate climate, I use shadow in summer ( where we may have 30ÂC =
86ÂF). For Mark, it is certainly a challenge to grow Iris sibirica in Florida
!
In September, I'll send seeds to you and so, you
will try this species in your garden.
I have discovered by chance the Iris
Encyclopedia in the website and all the services we can get with it .
Great !
All the best. 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.
