Re: Spuria?

 

Thanks Carol.
 
I'm about to head out and take measurements and further photos, but first I'll have to weed a bit in that spot of the garden.  It's rained so much this year, some parts of the garden haven't been totally weeded as yet.
 
I did take a closer look at the foliage on my quick walkabout earlier this morning.  Looks like some creature may have run through that spot, making the foliage flop.  It does look like spuria foliage overall though.  It's a very sunny spot, usually, so I don't think I'll move it.
 
My friend is going to visit her Mother this week, so she's going to try to dig some more of this iris, from an old abandoned farm house nearby.  :O 
 
I'll dig you a piece from my flowering clump though, Chuck, in case it's a totally different iris.

Very nice...do you have a height on this one.  I will go through my spuria species file of photos and see what I have.  I reminds me of a spuria I started from Signa Seed 03M118 (RMR) listed as I. kerneriana  great plant from 99M173).  RMR was Randy Moore Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is always the first one to bloom here.  It is followed closely by
I do still have that plant here and it indeed blooms early in the season.  My files show that 03M118 (RMR) started blooming this year on 5-21-2010 and is still in bloom. But it is almost finished.  Its tallest stalk height today is 19 inches from the ground to top of flower and the tallest fan from the ground to tip was 30 inches. It blooms consistently here and usually from May 15th to May 28 as a start date. I will look for my stored photos on the Signa plant 03M118 I have taken here this year so you can compare.
