Re: Re: Double flowered irises

I introduced Dottie' Double as an Iris virginica Shreivii seedling. If I rememmber correctly, it is probably the same as Iris x robusta, a natural cross of Iris versicolor X Iris virginica. It was found in an Ohio stand of Iris virginica Shreivii doing it's own thing . Here in Minnesota Iris versicolor and virginica 'shrevii are  usually confused--versicolor in northern Minnesota and Shrevei in southern Minn, seed pods being the most notable diference, Long and slender in Shrevei,well diferentiated by Jim Seeden in an early issue of SIGNA.

Bee pod . No other double versicolours or versicolours at the time. Dottie's Double just arrived in to garden this fall.  A cross of the two should give double robustas. On the planning board.

Hi all!

It's has been suggested that SIGNA do an article on double flowered irises, species in particular, of course. SO ... I'm picking your collective brains for a list of doubles and photos if you have them. Obviously there are too many double (and triple) JIs to mention, but a double, species form would make a nice photo. 'Same goes for LAs!

Thanks!
Rod
