Re: Iris graminea seeds question

 

Did you get the seeds from SIGNA seed sale?  
As seed sale chairman, I want to know about any seeds that aren't what they are supposed to be.
It seems that someone said some seeds had arils which chouldn't have had arils last year.  I don't remember what they were supposed to have been, nor have I heard what they turned out to be.
We don't want iris being mis-identified, and want to clear up any that are.

Sigh. I will be in for a surprise. The seeds had a white aril or collar. Oh well, I like a challenge.
Thank you

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.

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.
