El,
in the EU, we have no restrictions on seed. For us it's great, but it
is difficult to reciprocate for gardeners in the USA, although some do
have import permits for small lots of seed. And, yes, I would love to
get some seed, should it set.
I'm not sure about Bob's assesment that it is a sub-species of I.
spuria. Mind you, he certainly could be right, as this has become
the great 'lump' species for the spuria group, but your plant carries
its flowers well under the height of the foliage, which leads me to
think it is another species. After a bit of research, I tend to I.
kerneriana and a particularly nice form of it. The outline effect
is often seen in this species, according to what fotos I've found.Â
Plus the foliage is in the right proportions, I believe.

Re: [iris-species] Spuria?
El; I really like this flower with its fine edge of yellow on
the petals. I have not looked at my spuria files for sometime but I
would definitely say this is Iris spuria. Since Mathew includes a whole
bunch of what are called species under subspecies of spuria you can be
confident it is a spuria.ÂBut it would be nice to pin down the
subspecies, carthaliniae, or halophila may be possibilities. I could
rule out kerneriana since every picture I have seen is more branched
and a finer less broad plant. If it form seeds I would like a few
especially if they could come while fresh from the pod. I would send
postage.

This beauty was bloomng when I got
home today. It was given to me by a friend who says it's the first
iris she saw as a child, growing around her Mother's and aunt's country
places for well over 50 yrs. That's about 60 or so miles west of here.
Â
Does it look like a species spuria?
