Re: Spuria?

 

I don't believe you, El. Most have green on them if you look real, real, close - next years leavesJim

There's never any green on any spurias here in spring, so I have to assume they go completely dormant.  I haven't specifically checked if they're dormant in fall though.  I'll put that on my list to check for this year.

How about the other spurias you have. Did they go completely dormant in fall. for me they go into winter quite  green. Sometimes older foliage dies back, but  there is new green shuts goining into winter. Foliage dead in  spring except at base of plant.

Yes, totally dormant, as I wasn't sure it was coming back up this spring, since the weather was so odd this year.  Some spurias in other beds came up late too.

Too early and short for carthalinea. Could be  kerneriana.

kerneriana is supose to go completly dormant in fall.

El, does this plant completly die back in fall?

Hi El,
 
Most likely I. carthalinae (36" to 40" tall)  If much shorter then it could be I. kerneriana

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.
 
Does it look like a species spuria?
