Re: Re: Pseudacorous seeds was Late additions to the seed exchange

Chuck, et al,

Well,  I just ordered some seed from the 'late additions' and now there are more pseudacorus!  Chuck, I would be interested, as I rather like these rampant giants of the iris world.  I already have a few clones/seedlings.

A short story about this European native.  We have/had a rather derelict park almost right across the street from me, which I decided would be a nice place to introduce a few water iris to the otherwise barren artificial lake.  I planted some seedlings of pseuadacorus and siberica, both natives, at appropriate places, where they started to do OK.  Well, as fate would have it, a few years later money was invested into renovating this once lovely park and, when they took appart the existing edging of the lake, they dug-up the iris....and saved them all!  They now have pride of place in special beds along one of the new stone-faced embankments.  Needless to say, the pseudacorus clump can be seen from the opposite side of the lake, now, as it just loves this pampering.  I finally feel like I've helped to improve our city environment, even though I'm sure the park people think the birds brought them in.  My private secret is now out!

Chuck:  I was not sure whether you were sending these seeds to the SIGNA seed exchange or offering them separately but I would be interested.

I have been hybridizing Pseudacorous for a number of years and  I will be introducing some in  the near future, perhaps even this year.

 

Included in these are a tetraploid  that has flower about 7" across, and a white with outstanding bud count and branching. numerous seedlings of various colours, and doubles.

 

Would these seeds be welcome or not? 

 

I was going to send some, but got behind.

The wild Pseudacorus plants are on the invasive list in many states...However the named cultivars and the Pseu crosses like Roy Davidson, Etc. are not included in any ban.

 

All My Best

I noticed that along with listings for pseudacorus in the seed exchange is a late listing for x pseudata ex 'Chance Beauty'.

 

I was under the impression that pseudacorus or pseud crosses weren't going to be welcomed any longer so have been either giving away seeds from 'Chance Beauty', 'Shape Shifter', and the named white pseudacorus I have. Am I mistaken?
