Re: Trimezia in Ohio

Dennis,

     That is interesting.

I tried to self-pollinate the 2nd flower using just my fingernail to gather the pollen & i was surprised to see that it's black!  Normally iris pollen is ivory-colored or a very pastel color.  I don't think I've ever seen black pollen before... on any type of plant.

Dennis,

      Wonderful.  I love the Trimezia.   They rarely set seed, but when it did, I sent them in.  Its a really nice plant.

Mark in Florida has posted pics of his yellow Trimezia over the years that always make me sooooo envious.  But a few years ago he donated seeds to the SIGNA exchange, and now I've got some blooming in Ohio!  The flowers are ephemeral but oh so beautiful.  And who can complain about flowers in December!  :-)
