Hello everybody,
here is Iris bicapitata (the purple one) which is blooming from October but eachtime with just a few, till now. Today several flowers together thanking the sunny and mild days which are spring-flavoured.
This is the standard color but it's only one of the 10 different colors I had till now. Unfortunately the other clones are not blooming as I had them the past October...Maybe in the spring, I hope.
Scented, showy, extra-long blooming time, several colors, hardy and fast growing. What should we ask more than this? :-)
There is Iris pseudopumila blooming in these days too (the greenish one). It's an early blooming species but earlier then pumila, attica and others.
This is from the apulian population which is not so yellow like the sicilian one. In Sicily is almost simple to find purple populations, although in Apulia there are just a few purple plants. So, this species bears two distinct and geographically far ranges which are different by number of purple clones and intensity of the yellow color (the apulian is more green then yellow). Plus, the sicilian yellow forms shows frequently an intense purple spot on the falls, but apulian has brown falls with light purple shade.
I hope you'll like them.
