Thanks.  I had to select "Show remote content in this message" and then the picture appeared.  Duh.

It's embedded in the email rather than attached. It's some problem at your end. You can see the photos on the SIGNA web site: http://signa.org/index.pl?Display+Iris-graminea+2

For future reference there are photos of the seeds of many of the iris species in the species database on the website: http://signa.org/index.pl?Database

Attached is a photo of I. graminea seed that is normal.  There are a couple of variations, but I do not believe either have arils.

Subject: [iris-species] Iris graminea seeds question

 

 

I ordered seeds of the "plum scented Spuria" Iris graminea. Normally I open and inspect the package, but I put

it aside until I was ready to plant. All 5 seeds in ther package had white Arils, that is, a ring or collar at one end of the seed.

Surely I. graminea is a Spuria, and not an Aril, or arilbred? Or is this the normal appearance of this species' seeds?

Hope someone can help, I have a feeling I am going to be in for a surprise when they bloom.
