Re: I. gatesii

 

Thank you Sean.
Yes, I would like pollen.  And I will be emailing John Lonsdale to ask if he will hae I. gatesii for sale this year, and to get on a waiting list, if such exists, for when he does have it.  Thank you very much.

I purchased I. gatesii from John Lonsdale a few years ago. If it finally flowers this spring, I'll see about dividing it. Certainly I could send some pollen.

His photos of it are here: http://www.edgewoodgardens.net/Plants_album/The%20Plants%20-%20%20Complete%20Collection/Iridaceae/Iris/Subgen%20Iris%20Sect%20Oncocyclus/I.%20gatesii/index.html

Does anyone here know a source for I. gatesii?
I think the ASI group is probably tired of me asking about it.
Even my computer is getting tired of me searching for it.
Besides being a beautiful iris, as are so many, of course, but I think it has mich breeding potential.  Certain breeder in the past have used it a lot.  But just now I don't know if it is in cultivation.
