Re: Iris wilsonii or Iris forrestii?

Thanks for the pointer. The plant didn't set seed this year; I'll try to hand pollinate it or one of its siblings the next time they flower.

It looks unlike Iris forrestii to me. Probably you should look at pedicels in the fruiting stage, how long they will be.

A few yesrs ago I bought some species iris seeds from a seed company in
the UK that appears to consolidate from many sources, so I don't know
the seed's ultimate origin. The attached photo is supposed to be Iris
wilsonii, but looks to me like Iris forrestii; the standards are nice
and perky. Anyone have opinions?
