Re: Spuria?

 

Carol: Iris kerneriana is really very rare in the USA. It is a dwarf spuria but has never been used by hybridizers to produce the dwarf spuria many of us would like to see. I remember talking to Dave Niswonger about it and he would very much like to use it in hybridizing but has never successfully had plants to work with.

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.
