Re: Iris histrio subsp. histrio - a long wait

 

Yes, it is worth the wait. I have bought bulbs if I. histrio a couple times in the past, but growing a plant from seed is rewarding. I still have a bulb from Paul Christian that I bought a couple years ago; it bloomed last year. I'm saving pollen to see if that plant blooms again this year; leaves are showing, but no bud yet.

Worth the wait though? It is a beautiful little flower.
