Re: Iris germanica/AMAS

---

Ken; since this came from a seed one probably would assume it is fertile. Did it form any pods? It would be interesting to know what its chromosome number might be. Maybe it is a tetraploid. Is it any larger that the common 44c germanica? Interestingly from the picture it would appear to have papery bracts at the time of flowering, this is usually associated with pallida and germanica usaully has bracts that are half green.

I have a photo of a bloom from SIGNA 00C035, one of the germanicas from
Greece,

Obviously, its not the same as seeing the flower in person, but you can
see some of
it's characteristics.
