well i planted 169 seeds in my tub...
about 100 of tetra versatas...
about 30 of iris prismatica
about 30 of iris tridentata
and 3 iris fulva... woo hoo!
Out of curiosity... does anyone else "shuck" their seeds before planting
them? I learned long ago from Heather Pryor to do that to Louisiana iris
seeds... and so I also did it with my Iris tridentata seeds. That was
difficult however since they are so small! But I did it anyway, and boy
were my hands & fingers cramped afterwards.
Now to stratify them and wait for spring germination!
Dennis in Cincy where it is warm & sunny for the first time in years!
well, it sure seems that long.
