Re: Spuria?

I also don't believe it is Iris kerneriana. Mathew describes I. kerneriana as having highly recurved falls, which this spuria does not have. I. kerneriana has very narrow leaves from .5 to at most 1 cm in width.

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.
